Official title: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)-Related Outcomes and Costs for Patients on Combination Fluticasone Propionate-Salmeterol Xinafoate 250/50mcg versus Anticholinergics in a Comorbid COPD-Depression/Anxiety Population
Trial description: The objective of this study was to examine COPD-related outcomes for patients with comorbid depression/anxiety who are on combination fluticasone propionate/salmeterol xinafoate compared to those receiving anticholinergics. The prevalence of comorbid depression/anxiety in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is estimated to be high and range from 10-40%, given that the risk of depression/anxiety symptoms is almost 3 times higher in patients with versus without COPD. Additionally, patients with comorbid COPD and depression/anxiety have higher COPD-related healthcare utilization and costs compared to those without depression/anxiety. Therapy with maintenance medications for COPD has been recommended to prevent future adverse COPD outcomes, but the impact of initiating these interventions has not yet been evaluated in a higher-risk population with comorbid COPD-depression/anxiety. The present study compares the risk of COPD exacerbations and COPD-related costs in patients initiating maintenance medications for treatment of COPD in a comorbid COPD/depression-anxiety population. Maintenance medications include inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), long-acting beta agonist (LABA), combination drug product of ICS+LABA, and anti-cholinergics (AC) including tiotropium (TIO) and ipratropium or combination ipratropium-albuterol (collectively abbreviated as IPR).
