Awesome! For those wondering why LAMA is preferred over LABA for monotherapy (as per your final algorithm), its because Tiotropium (LAMA) was shown to have greater reductions in exacerbations and hospitalizations compared to Salmeterol (LABA) in the POET-COPD trial.

Thank you for your effort

You're back, we miss you!

Thank you

People quit but get copd later in life. The damaged done doesn’t go away. Emphysema is for life. It doesn’t get better.

Doc, I've been meaning to ask, where is your accent from?

Commenting for the algorithm
