ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of tiotropium combined with salmeterol/fluticasone on the treatment of the patients with asthma COPD overlap syndrome. Methods 122 patients with asthma COPD overlap syndrome were divided into 2 groups by randomized envelope, the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group were given tiotropium bromide combined with salmeterol/fluticasone. The control group were received compound ipratropium bromide combined with salmeterol/fluticasone. The clinical effect was observed. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference in lung function between the two groups. After treatment, the improvement of pulmonary function indexes in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). And the number of acute attack and attack time in the experimental group were also better than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Tiotropium combined with Shah Mette Lo/fluticasone is effective on the treatment of asthma COPD overlap syndrome, and has some clinical advantages in improving lung function and reducing the frequency of attack.
