Abstract:
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of seretide (50 μg/500 μg salmeterol/fluticasone propionate) with seretide (50 μg/250 μg salmeterol/fluticasone propionate) in single inhaler in the treatment of patients with stable status moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)Methods Sixty patients with COPD were randomly divided into the treatment and the control groups.Baseline treatments were similar in all patients,patients in the treatment group received seretide (50 μg/500 μg) while the control group received seretide (50 μg/250 μg) inhalation once every 12 hours for 24 weeks Before and after the therapeutic course,tests for lung function in patients of the two groups were conducted and compared with each other.Clinical symptoms and physical signs were graded by questionnaire.Results There was no significant difference on indexes of lung function between the two groups at baseline (P ＞ 0.05).After treatment,the score of clinical symptoms and signs in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group ((4.0 ± 0.5) vs.(4.8 ± 0.3),t =2.63,P ＜ 0.05).Six minutes walking distance was longer in the treatment group than that in the control group ((451.6±22.9) meter vs.(401.2 ±25.4) meter,t =2.51,P ＜0.05).The levels of forced exhaled gas volume 1 (FEV1),FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/pred in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group ([FEV1:(2.18 ± 0.38) L vs.(1.78 ± 0.45) L;FEV1/pred:(63.19 ±9.08)％ vs.(57.19 ±9.25)％; FEV1/FVC％:(73.8 ±5.6)％ vs.(67.3 ± 11.5)％ ;P ＜ 0.05).Conclnsion High dosage of seretide had better effect in the treatment of stable moderate and severe COPD,and can obviously improve patients' lung function,clinical symptoms and quality of life.
