What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Moderate-to-severe Acute Exacerbation

    Number of participants with moderate-to-severe acute exacerbation within 1 year after the index date was reported.

    Measured: Up to 1 year after the index date (Baseline).

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Annualized Rate of Moderate-to-severe Exacerbation

    The annualized rate of moderate-to-severe exacerbation was calculated as: total number of episodes of moderate-to-severe exacerbation of all participants divided by the sum of follow-up period [years] of all participants. The corresponding 95% confidence interval was from Poisson regression.

    Measured: Up to 1 year after the index date (Baseline).

  2. Annualized Rate of Mild Exacerbation

    The annualized rate of mild exacerbation was calculated as: total number of episodes of mild exacerbation of all participants divided by the sum of follow-up period [years] of all participants. The corresponding 95% confidence interval was from Poisson regression.

    Measured: Up to 1 year after the index date (Baseline).

  3. Annualized Rate of Moderate Exacerbation

    The annualized rate of moderate exacerbation was calculated as: total number of episodes of moderate exacerbation of all participants divided by the sum of follow-up period [years] of all participants. The corresponding 95% confidence interval was from Poisson regression.

    Measured: Up to 1 year after the index date (Baseline).

  4. Annualized Rate of Severe Exacerbation

    The annualized rate of severe exacerbation was calculated as: total number of episodes of severe exacerbation of all participants divided by the sum of follow-up period [years] of all participants. The corresponding 95% confidence interval was from Poisson regression.

    Measured: Up to 1 year after the index date (Baseline).

  5. Incidence of Patients Escalating Therapy (From Single/Dual to Dual/Triple Therapy)

    Incidence of patients escalating therapy, from single/dual to dual/triple therapy such as receiving Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonist (LAMA) escalated to dual therapy or receiving LABA+LAMA (Tiotropium+Olodaterol) escalated to triple therapy(LABA+LAMA+inhaled corticosteroids (ICS)), within 1 year after the index date was reported.

    Measured: Up to 1 year after the index date (Baseline).

  6. Percentage of Patients Receiving Dual Therapy Escalated to Triple Therapy or LAMA Escalated to Dual Therapy

    Percentage of patients receiving dual therapy (Tiotropium+Olodaterol or other Long-Acting Beta-Agonist (LABA)+Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonist (LAMA) therapy) escalated to triple therapy (LABA+LAMA + inhaled corticosteroids (ICS)) or LAMA escalated to dual therapy (LABA + LAMA) was reported.

    Measured: Up to 1 year after index date (Baseline).

  7. Change From Baseline in Pulmonary Function After LABA+LAMA or LAMA Initiation Evaluating by Post-bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (Post-FEV1) at 12 Months After Index Date

    Change from baseline in pulmonary function after Long-Acting Beta-Agonist (LABA)+Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonist (LAMA) (Tiotropium+Olodaterol or other LABA+LAMA therapy) or LAMA initiation evaluating by post-bronchodilatorForced Expiratory Volume in one second (Post-FEV1) at 12 months after index date was reported.

    Spirometry was the most common tool to evaluate the lung function of patients with respiratory disease. Among the results of spirometry, post-bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in one second was used for assisting in the diagnosis, determining disease severity, and following up the prognosis.

    Measured: At index date (Baseline) and at 12 months after index date.

  8. Change From Baseline in Pulmonary Function After LABA+LAMA or LAMA Initiation Evaluating by Post-bronchodilator Forced Volume Vital Capacity (Post-FVC) at 12 Months After Index Date

    Change from baseline in pulmonary function after Long-Acting Beta-Agonist (LABA)+Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonist (LAMA) (Tiotropium+Olodaterol or other LABA+LAMA therapy) or LAMA initiation evaluating by post-bronchodilator Forced Volume Vital Capacity (Post-FVC) at 12 months after index date was reported.

    Spirometry was the most common tool to evaluate the lung function of patients with respiratory disease. Among the results of spirometry, post-bronchodilator Forced Volume Vital Capacity was used for assisting in the diagnosis, determining disease severity, and following up the prognosis.

    Measured: At index date (Baseline) and at 12 months after index date.

  9. Change From Baseline in Pulmonary Function After LABA+LAMA or LAMA Initiation Evaluating by COPD Assessment Test (CAT) Score at 12 Months After Index Date

    Change from baseline in pulmonary function after Long-Acting Beta-Agonist (LABA)+Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonist (LAMA) (Tiotropium+Olodaterol or other LABA+LAMA therapy) or LAMA initiation evaluating by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Assessment Test (CAT) score at 12 months after index date was reported.

    The COPD assessment test (CAT) was a simple, 8-item, health status instrument which provided a simple method for assessing the impact of COPD on the patient's health and the quality of life. Each item was on a 6-point scale: 0 (no impact) to 5 (maximum impact). The CAT score ranging from 0 (better health status) to 40 (worse health status) was calculated by summing the points for each item. A decrease in CAT score represents an improvement in health status, whereas an increase in CAT score represents a worsening in health status.

    Measured: At index date (Baseline) and at 12 months after index date.

  10. Change From Baseline in Pulmonary Function After LABA+LAMA or LAMA Initiation Evaluating by Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC) at 12 Months After Index Date

    Change from baseline in pulmonary function after Long-Acting Beta-Agonist (LABA)+Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonist (LAMA) (Tiotropium+Olodaterol or other LABA+LAMA therapy) or LAMA initiation evaluating by modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC) at 12 months after index date is reported.

    Modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC) is a 5 points scale measuring the severity of dyspnea of patients. The scale ranges from 0 (better outcome) to 4 (worse outcome). The higher the scale value, the more severe the dyspnea is. If mMRC scale of the patient was > 2, it means the patient may suffer from dyspnea.

    Measured: At index date (baseline) and at 12 months after index date

  11. Percentage of Patients Using Rescue Medications

    Percentage of patients using rescue medications within 1 year after index date was reported.

    Measured: Up to 1 year after index date (Baseline).

Individual data sharing
No: Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents. Exceptions might apply, e.g. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases (in case of low number of patients and therefore limitations with anonymization).
