Change of COPD maintenance medication over two years in a large real life cohort: The DACCORD study
Introduction Database studies suggest a steady intensification of COPD maintenance medication, with the majority of patients eventually receiving a LABA/LAMA/ICS combination. However, such studies include generally only data on medication use. Here, we analysed data from the ongoing, non-interventional, observational DACCORD study to determine whether there was a correlation between baseline GOLD 2011 category and change in medication use over 2 years. Methods This abstract presents data on medication use at baseline and at 1 and 2 years, by baseline GOLD 2011 category (A,B,C and D with symptoms evaluated using the COPD Assessment Test). Results 3315 patients with COPD have completed the 2 …
P120 Real life distribution of COPD severity in the German DACCORD registry: Lung function is the main driver of classification in GOLD group C and D
Introduction Currently there is limited real-life data available regarding the distribution of COPD patients using the GOLD 2011 criteria. The German DACCORD registry that collects data from a large ‘real life’ population sample was used to categorise COPD patients according to GOLD 2011. Methods To be eligible for entry into DACCORD, all patients had to have a diagnosis of COPD (consistent with the German Disease Management Programme definition), and, prior to entry, had to have either newly initiated bronchodilator maintenance medication, or to have a bronchodilator added to their maintenance regimen. No other inclusion criteria were applied, and the only exclusion criterion was a diagnos…
P285 The ‘real-life’ copd patient in the age of laba/lamas: an expansion of the daccord study
Introduction The prospective, non-interventional DACCORD study collects data from a representative cohort of COPD out-patients across Germany who either initiated or changed COPD maintenance medication prior to entry. Initially, DACCORD consisted of two treatment groups (Glycopyrronium-based therapy vs. any other COPD maintenance medication with the exception of Glycopyrronium). Following the approval of LABA/LAMA fixed-dose combinations (FDC) in 2013, DACCORD was extended to follow an additional cohort of patients receiving any LABA/LAMA FDC over a period of 2 years. Methods 5223 patients with complete baseline data (3815 LAMA/LABA FDC vs. 1408 standard treatment group) were analysed here.…
P46 Frequency of COPD exacerbations in the German DACCORD Registry
Introduction In patients with COPD, exacerbations are among the most relevant safety measures. In this analysis of data from the observational DACCORD study, we report the frequency of exacerbations in a COPD population. Methods To get insights into occurrence and frequency of exacerbations, data from 4,123 patients were obtained from 349 primary and secondary care centres in Germany. To be eligible for entry into DACCORD, all patients had to have a COPD diagnosis (consistent with the German Disease Management Programme definition), and had to have a change in bronchodilator maintenance medication, prior to entry. Data collected included history and treatment of exacerbations 6 months prior…
