Participant Flow

74 were screened.Main reasons for screen failure were reversibility criteria not met (21), withdrew consent (5) and unsuitable chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) history (4). Patients had to discontinue long acting bronchodilators on the day before screening and short acting bronchodilators for 8 hours before all spirometry assessments
