Retrospective comparison of pneumonia occurence in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using inhaled combination or inhaled long acting beta agonist alone
Abstract
Aim: Data from recent studies revealed that the use of combinations of inhaled corticosteroids and long acting beta 2 agonists (LABA) may increase pneumonia risk in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. The aim of this retrospective study is to compare the occurence of pneumonia in COPD patients who received regularly inhaled corticosteroid and LABA combinations with the patients who received inhaled LABA only. Materials and Methods: Sixty-two COPD patients were included in the study. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the inhaled agents they used; “combination group” (31 patients; 26 male, 5 female; median age±SD: 68±9) and “LABA group” (31 patients; 27 male, 4 female; median age±SD: 66±8). Medical recotds of patients were retrospectively evaluated and all patients were contacted via telephone. Results: Ten patients in combination group had severe or very severe COPD (FEV1
