Figures & data

Table 1 Prespecified and post hoc statistical analyses

Table 2 Patient demographics and clinical characteristics at baseline based on exacerbation history in the previous year (randomized set)

Figure 1 Annualized rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations in different subgroups of patients based on prior exacerbations (full analysis set).

Abbreviations: IND/GLY, indacaterol/glycopyrronium; SFC, salmeterol/fluticasone.

Figure 2 Kaplan–Meier plot of time to first moderate or severe COPD exacerbation in different subgroups of patients based on prior exacerbations (full analysis set).

Notes: (A) Patients with history of 1 exacerbation in the previous year. (B) Patients with history of ≥2 exacerbations in the previous year. (C) Patients with history of ≥2 exacerbations or at least 1 exacerbation that led to hospitalization in the previous year.
Abbreviations: IND/GLY, indacaterol/glycopyrronium; SFC, salmeterol/fluticasone.

Figure 3 Annualized rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations based on previous treatment (full analysis set).

Abbreviations: ICS, inhaled corticosteroid; IND/GLY, indacaterol/glycopyrronium; LABA, long-acting β2 agonist; LAMA, long-acting muscarinic antagonist; SFC, salmeterol/fluticasone.

Figure 4 Number and RR of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations according to HCRU with IND/GLY versus SFC during the treatment period.

Notes: *If an exacerbation satisfies multiple criteria (eg, required treatment with a medication and later required hospitalization), then the event is counted in each category (row) satisfied. Thus, the percentages do not add up to 100%.
Abbreviations: HCRU, health care resource utilization; IND/GLY, indacaterol/glycopyrronium; RR, rate ratio; SFC, salmeterol/fluticasone.
