Efficacy of tiotropium in the prevention of exacerbations of COPD
Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 08/14/09
Anzueto A et al. – It is important to highlight that the control group in the UPLIFT trial consisted of patients with usual treatment for COPD, which included inhaled corticosteroids and/or long–acting beta–2 agonists in up to 62% of cases at baseline and up to 73% of cases at any time during follow–up. The new clinical trials have demonstrated a significant reduction in exacerbations and hospitalisations, even in patients treated with other drugs that can potentially prevent exacerbations.
