From a UK perspective, BUD/F delivered via an MDI + VHC offers an economic benefit for the treatment of patients with mild asthma. Further analysis is required to determine if there would be any quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) effects based on the chosen intervention.
Results from this study demonstrate a reduction in the proportion of patients requiring COPD/chronic bronchitis related readmission within 30 days and 12 months of the Aerobika® OPEP device therapy initiation compared to an alternative OPEP device.
This further supports the use of the Aerobika®OPEP device as an add-on to usual care to manage COPD/chronic bronchitis patients post-exacerbation and highlights that not all OPEP devices are the same in terms of 30-day and 12-month readmissions
