The Significant Findings
In 2005, respiratory disease was ranked as the top cause of mortality and hospitalization in Hong Kong.
Respiratory diseases accounted for 16% of all inpatient bed-days.
Although there has been a slow decline in respiratory mortality rate in the past decade, there has been no change in respiratory hospitalization rates.
Respiratory diseases, therefore, have accounted for the largest share of the health-care burden locally.

COPD is a growing burden to society and patients1
COPD is estimated to cause almost 3 million deaths per year, 15 times more than are caused by asthma.1,2
Of all the major chronic diseases, COPD is the only one with an increasing death rate.3

COPD is a growing burden to society and patients1
By 2020, COPD is expected to be the third largest cause of chronic disease mortality worldwide.2

What are the PROBLEMS IN COPD that clinicians are faced with?
Symptoms– Quality of Life
Exacerbations– Health care utilisation
– hospitalisation
Mortality– Lung function decline
Prospective RCTs in COPD
To determine whether treatment with tiotropium18 µg daily reduces the rate of decline of FEV1over time in patients with COPD
To compare the effectiveness of Salm/FP 50/500 with Tiotropium in reducing the rate of moderate and/or severe exacerbation in subjects with severe to very severe COPD
To investigate the long-term effects of Salm/FP 50/500 µg BID, Salm 50 µg BID and FP 500 µg on the survival of subjectsover 3 years

SPIRIVA demonstrates superior improvements in breathlessness post rehab
Combined rehab with SPIRIVA results in extended, superior outcomes in breathlessness compared with rehab alone
Casaburi, et al Chest 2005
Co-Primary Endpoints
Co-primary endpoints:– Yearly rate of decline in trough (pre-bronchodilator) FEV1 from steady
state until end of the treatment period
– Yearly rate of decline in FEV1 measured 90 minutes after inhalation of study drug and ipratropium (30 minutes after inhalation of salbutamol) from steady state until end of the treatment period
Secondary Endpoints
Key Secondary Endpoints– Time to 1st exacerbation– Time to 1st hospitalization
Other Secondary endpoints– FEV1, FVC, and SVC at all time points– Decline in FVC and SVC– COPD exacerbations & related hospitalizations– HRQoL (St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire)– Mortality (all cause, lower respiratory)

Summary
A Landmark 4-year COPD Trial (UPLIFT) proved that tiotropium have favourable impact on the clinical course of COPD through:• Significantly sustained improvements in lung function (87-103 ml,
p<0.001)
• Significantly sustained improvement in health-related quality of life
• Significant reduction in the no. of exacerbations per patient year (14%, p<0.001)
• Significant reduction in mortality (16%, p=0.016)
Summary
Evidence for reduced cardiac morbidity– No increased risk for stroke or myocardial infarction
Reduced lower respiratory morbidity– Decreased risk for respiratory failure
COPD is a growing burden to society and patients1
In the Asia Pacific region, COPD affects over 56 million people.2
