Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) combination is commonly prescribed to treat COPD; we will perform a retrospective analysis on the effect of adding a long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonist (LAMA) to ICS/LABA combination in COPD.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

According to the current guidelines for the treatment of COPD, it is recommended to use combination therapies with different or complementary mechanisms of action . Data suggest that open triple therapy incorporating LAMA with ICS / LABA combination products administered through different delivery devices may be beneficial for improving pulmonary function in patients with COPD. However, there is little evidence of the effect of triple therapy on pulmonary function and the incidence of exacerbations in COPD patients.
