Long‐acting beta2‐agonist plus tiotropium vs tiotropium

Quality of life SGRQ responder analysis at 6 months · addition to tiotropium versus either tiotropium or LABA alone for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Long‐acting beta2‐agonist plus tiotropium probably leads to higher quality of life SGRQ responder analysis at 6 months compared with tiotropium alone (moderate certainty).
