We explored how pathways to TT vary across countries. Aims and Objectives: We investigated the proportion of patients on TT relative to the timing of their COPD diagnosis and the treatment pathway to TT including the time from diagnosis to initiation of TT and adherence. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed using anonymised patient-level data from UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Australia from 01/01/2005 to 01/05/2016. Patients were included if their first TT regimen was recorded during this period and they had ≥12 months data pre-index (COPD diagnosis). The proportion of patients on TT before COPD diagnosis was also determined. Treatment pathways and time to TT initiation following index were evaluated. Adherence to TT was estimated using proportion of days covered. Results: Overall 130,729 eligible patients were included. Mean age at diagnosis ranged from 63.4 (SD:10.4) years [pneumologist-treated in Germany] to 69.8 (9.9) years [Italy]. Time to TT ranged from median 16.9 months in Australia (IQR: 5.7 – 36.2) to 42.5 months in the UK (IQR: 13.9 -87.4). TT initiated first formed the largest treatment pathway (7.5% in UK to 17.1% in France). In meta-analyses of patients across all countries, 20.4% (95% CI: 13.8-29.1%) of patients initiated TT prior to COPD diagnosis. Estimated adherence was >80% in all countries during the time the patient was persistent with TT. Conclusions: Diverse patient pathways to TT were observed both between and within countries, many of which do not align with COPD treatment recommendations.","PeriodicalId":432006,"journal":{"name":"General practice and primary care","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128975080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aims and Objectives: To determine the proportion of patients with Asthma presenting to tertiary care hospital in Trivandrum, South India who show post-bronchodilator reversibility on spirometry and to determine the factors associated with reversibility Methods: Consecutive patients with clinician diagnosed asthma (by a senior pulmonologist, based on GINA guidelines) underwent spirometry as part of their diagnostic work-up at the time of their presentation in two tertiary care hospitals. Pre- and post bronchodilator spirometry were done by an expert technician. Reversibility was defined as increase in FEV1 by 200ml and 12% Results: 200 consecutive patients with Asthma were recruited. Mean age of the patients was 41.5 years (SD - 18.2). 59.5% of the patients were femaies. The proportion of patients with reversibility was 47% (95%CI-40%,54%). The factors associated with reversibility were low age( 0.05). Conclusion: While developing local guidelines for diagnosis of Asthma, the fact that reversibility can be demonstrated only less than 50% of patients must be considered, otherwise a significant proportion of cases with Asthma may be missed or misdiagnosed as COPD.","PeriodicalId":432006,"journal":{"name":"General practice and primary care","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128445837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
