Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has a varying frequency and severity of exacer-bations. The fixed combination of tiotropium / olodaterol (TIO/OLO) demonstrate a reduction of risk moderate and severe exacerbations compare to tiotropium (TIO) in patients with COPD. Ti-otropium-olodaterol reduced the rate of exacerbations treated with systemic corticosteroids (SCS) alone, and reduced the rate of exacerbations treated with SCS and antibiotics compared with tiotropium.. There was no difference in the number of adverse events including major ad - verse cardiac events between TIO/OLO and tiotropium groups.
