2012

"The objective of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and budget impact of the following interventions in moderate to very severe COPD, investigated in the Medical Advisory Secretariat Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Mega-Analysis Series: [1] smoking cessation programs in moderate COPD in an outpatient setting: [1a] intensive counselling (IC) versus usual care (UC), [1b] nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) versus UC, [1c] IC + NRT versus placebo, [1d] bupropion versus placebo; [2] multidisciplinary care (MDC) teams versus UC in moderate to severe COPD in an outpatient setting; [3] pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) versus UC following acute exacerbations in moderate to severe COPD; [4] long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) versus UC in severe hypoxemia in COPD in an outpatient setting; [5] ventilation: [5a] noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) + usual medical care versus usual medical care in acute respiratory failure due to an acute exacerbation in severe COPD in an inpatient setting, [5b] weaning with NPPV versus weaning with invasive mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory failure due to an acute exacerbation in very severe COPD in an inpatient setting"--P. 10.
