Pulmonology:

In adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), what are the relative efficacy and safety of combination umeclidinium/vilanterol (UMEC/VIL) and its monocomponents, tiotropium, or fluticasone propionate/salmeterol (FSC)?
Included studies compared UMEC/VIL with UMEC, VIL, tiotropium, or FSC in adults ≥ 40 years of age who had stable moderate to very severe COPD and reported a relevant outcome. Outcomes included health status (St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire total score, minimal clinically important difference ≥ 4 points), exacerbations, dyspnea (Transition Dyspnea Index total score, minimal clinically important difference ≥ 1 point), pulmonary function (trough FEV1), serious adverse events (SAEs), and serious cardiovascular events (SCVEs).
