Treatment Decisions for Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in China: An Observational Cross-Sectional Survey Based on Multivariate Discrete Choice Modeling
Although most respiratory physicians follow guidelines for the choice of initial therapy for COPD, there are still irregularities in the use of triple therapy. A clinically relevant percentage of physicians, especially community physicians, selected ICS+LABA as the initial treatment choice. These practice irregularities should be the focus of future guidelines for promotion and education.
