Tricco AC, Strifler L, Veroniki AA, Yazdi F, Khan PA, Scott A, Ng C, Antony J, Mrklas K, D’Souza J, Cardoso R, Straus SE. Comparative safety and effectiveness of long-acting inhaled agents for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. BMJ Open. 2015;5(10):e009183. DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2015-009183.
Altmetric:
Bottom Line:
- Many inhaled agents are available for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), some are safer and more effective than others
Impact:
- Our results can be used by patients and physicians to tailor administration of these agents
- Commissioned by the Ontario Drug Policy Research Network to inform the listing of these agents by the Ontario Public Drug Program

Comparative Safety and effectiveness of long-acting muscarinic antagonists for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): A rapid review and network meta-analysis
Tricco AC, Strifler L, Yazdi F, Khan P, Ng C, Antony J, Mrklas K, Scott A, D’Souza J, Cardoso R. Comparative safety and effectiveness of long-acting muscarinic antagonists for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): A rapid review and network meta-analysis. Technical Report 2014.
Bottom Line:
- The results of a network meta-analysis (NMA) restricted to patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) found that tiotropium+formoterol had the highest probability of reducing the risk of exacerbations
Impact:
- Our results can be used by patients and physicians to tailor administration of these agents
- Commissioned by the Ontario Drug Policy Research Network to inform the listing of these agents by the Ontario Public Drug Program

Comparative safety and effectiveness of inhaled corticosteriods and beta-agonist for chronic asthma: A rapid review and network meta-analysis
Tricco AC, Ashoor HM, Zarin W, Thomas S, Hamid J, Yazdi F, Lillie E, Kealey R, Ghassemi M, Loyman RJ. Comparative safety and effectiveness of inhaled corticosteroids and beta-agonists for chronic asthma: A rapid review and network meta-analysis. 2014.
Bottom Line:
- Fixed or adjustable dose combined inhalers with low dosage ICS+LABA, medium dosage ICS+LABA, or high dosage ICS+LABA had the greatest probability of decreasing the risk of moderate to severe exacerbations
- There were no significant differences in risk of cardiovascular disease or cardiovascular related mortality across all treatment groups
Impact:
- Our results can be used by patients and physicians to tailor administration of these agents
- Commissioned by the Ontario Drug Policy Research Network to inform the listing of these agents by the Ontario Public Drug Program
