Quality of Life in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients After Switching to Tiotropium Plus Olodaterol Fixed Dose Combination in Greece

The primary objective of this non-interventional study (NIS) is to evaluate changes within 3 months in quality of life according to health status evaluated with the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) in COPD patients who have recently switched (within one week) from tiotropium monotherapy (Spiriva® Handihaler®) to dual therapy with tiotropium bromide plus olodaterol (Spiolto® Respimat®), in the Greek private and public sector pulmonary offices and clinics.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Patients' Quality of Life (QoL) According to the Total Score of COPD Assessment Test (CAT) at Month 3

    Time frame: At baseline and at 3 months after baseline.

    The CAT is a patient-completed questionnaire assessing globally the impact of COPD on health status. It contains 8 items, where each item has a score range from 0 to 5. The CAT score is calculated by summing up the scores from the 8 items. CAT score ranges from 0 to 40. Higher score denotes a more severe impact of COPD on a patient's life. CAT score <10 corresponding to mild impact on patients life is usually considered representing patients without impaired health status.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Patients With CAT≥10 at Baseline and Month 3

    Time frame: At baseline and at 3 months after baseline.

    The CAT is a patient-completed questionnaire assessing globally the impact of COPD on health status. It contains 8 items, where each item has a score range from 0 to 5. The CAT score is calculated by summing up the scores from the 8 items. CAT score ranges from 0 to 40. Higher score denotes a more severe impact of COPD on a patient's life. CAT score <10 corresponding to mild impact on patient's life is usually considered representing patients without impaired health status. CAT≥10 refers to impaired health status. The percentages of patients with CAT CAT≥10 at baseline and at Month 3 were reported below.

  2. Change From Baseline in the Total European Quality of Life-Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) at Month 3

    Time frame: At baseline and at 3 months after baseline.

    The EQ VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale. EQ-VAS score ranges from 0 to 100 where 0 represents the worst state the patient can imagine and 100 the best. Higher scores indicated better health state.

  3. Percentage of Patients With Improved / Worsened Condition Mobility According to the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Questionnaire After 3 Months

    Time frame: At baseline and at 3 months after baseline.

    EQ-5D-5L descriptive system comprises of 5 dimensions-mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort & anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: not at all (level 1), mild (level 2), moderate (level 3), severe (level 4), extreme/leading to incapacity (level 5), with highest level corresponding to worst outcome. Subjects had to indicate their health state by choosing the appropriate level from each dimension. The dimension for mobility is reported in this endpoint.

  4. Percentage of Patients With Improved / Worsen Condition in Self-care According to the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Questionnaire After 3 Months

    Time frame: At baseline and at 3 months after baseline.

    EQ-5D-5L descriptive system comprises of 5 dimensions-mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort & anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: not at all (level 1), mild (level 2), moderate (level 3), severe (level 4), extreme/leading to incapacity (level 5), with highest level corresponding to worst outcome. Subjects had to indicate their health state by choosing the appropriate level from each dimension. The dimension for self-care is reported in this endpoint.

  5. Percentage of Patients With Improved / Worsen Condition Usual Activities According to the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Questionnaire After 3 Months

    Time frame: At baseline and at 3 months after baseline.

    EQ-5D-5L descriptive system comprises of 5 dimensions-mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort & anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: not at all (level 1), mild (level 2), moderate (level 3), severe (level 4), extreme/leading to incapacity (level 5), with highest level corresponding to worst outcome.

  8. Percentage of Patients With Adherence to the Medication

    Time frame: At 3 months after baseline.

    Adherence is measured with the Simplified Medication Adherence Questionnaire (SMAQ), which is a short questionnaire including 6 questions, that assess patient adherence to the medication.

  9. Total Score in Abbreviated Patient Satisfaction and Preference Questionnaire (PASAPQ)

    Time frame: At 3 months after baseline.

    Calculated from questions 1 to 13 in Part 1 of the PASAPQ. All questions in PASAPQ were answered on a 7-point scale ranging from 1= very dissatisfied to 7 = very satisfied. To calculate the total score, the sum of the 13 items of the two domains (performance and convenience) was transformed to a 0- (least) to 100- (most) point scale which is scaled positively: higher scores represent higher levels of satisfaction.
