Trial Outcomes & Findings for Changes in Physical Functioning in Patients With COPD During Therapy With a Combination Inhalation Therapy (NCT NCT02173769)

NCT ID: NCT02173769

Last Updated: 2017-06-05

Results Overview

Percentage of participants with "therapeutic success" defined as a 10-point increase in the physical activity assessed by patient´s questionnaire (PF-10) score between the initial examination and after 4-6 weeks. The PF-10 score is a subscale of the quality of life questionnaire Short Form 36 (SF-36) and contains 10 questions concerning physical activity and capacity. The total score ranges from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a better physical functioning.
