  • For FEV1, figures represent treatment differences with 97.5% CI and p values; for IC, RV and TLC, figures represent a treatment ratio with 97.5% CI and p value.

  • IC, Inspiratory capacity; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC, forced vital capacity; RV, residual volume; SFC, salmeterol/fluticasone propionate combination; TIO, tiotropium; TLC, total lung capacity.
