  • aMono long-acting bronchodilator includes treatment with a LAMA or LABA. ICS/long-acting bronchodilator includes treatment with ICS and a LAMA or LABA. Dual long-acting bronchodilator includes treatment with a LAMA and a LABA. Triple therapy is treatment with ICS, a LAMA and a LABA.

  • bPatients rated how difficult each activity was for them to perform on a three-point scale: 1=much difficulty, 2=some difficulty, 3=no difficulty. If patients did not perform an activity (either for health reasons or by choice), the item is not included in the mean for that domain.

  • cNumber of patients with completed Functional Performance Inventory-Short Forms

  • dOther treatments included, but were not limited to: ICS, short-acting bronchodilators in combination with other treatments, and phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitors or oral corticosteroids alone or in combination with other treatments.

  • COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; ICS, inhaled corticosteroids; LABA, long-acting β2-agonist; LAMA, long-acting muscarinic antagonist; SD, standard deviation.
