Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Treatment failure rate

The number of treatment failures in both groups during the study period was measured. Treatment failure was defined as the following: (1) the need for or receipt of tracheal intubation or invasive mechanical ventilation during hospitalization, or (2) the need for or transfer to an intensive care unit during hospitalization, or (3) the duration of hospitalization for the current acute exacerbation of COPD for more than 14 days, or (4) death during hospitalization or within 30 days after discharge, or (5) readmission for an acute exacerbation of COPD within 30 days after discharge.

Time frame
During the 10 days treatment period and the 3 months follow-up period.

Secondary outcomes

1

The COPD Assessment Test(CAT)

The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) is an 8-item questionnaire that assesses health status in patients with COPD. The questionnaire uses a 0-5 point scale, with higher values indicating a greater impact of COPD on the patient.

Time frame
Changes in baseline CAT scores at day 10 of the treatment period and at 1 and 3 months of follow-up.
2

The number and severity of acute exacerbations

The number and severity of acute exacerbations during the follow-up period.

Time frame
Within 3 months of follow-up period.
3

Readmission rate of acute exacerbations

The number of readmissions due to acute exacerbations during the follow-up period.

Time frame
Within 3 months of follow-up period.
4

The time to the first exacerbation of COPD

The time to the first COPD exacerbation during the study period.
