Cohort study
14. Follow-up of patients
Will patients be followed up?Yes
Please describe duration of follow up
Uninterrupted use of QVA149 for more than one year
Long-term exposure data in patients using QVA149 continuously for more than 18 months
15. Data analysis plan
Please provide a brief summary of the analysis method
The study will not test any a priori hypothesis.
Descriptive statistics will be used and categorical data will be presented in counts (n) and proportions (%) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). 95% CIs will be calculated either based on the normal distribution or based on the binomial distribution. For continuous data, the number of observations (n), mean, standard deviation and median (with inter-quartile range) will be presented.
Switching characteristics will be described by counts, proportions and 95% CI both from switching from QVA149 to another respiratory drug (LABA, LAMA, LABA+ICS, loose combination LABA+LAMA, loose combination LABA+ICS, loose combination LAMA+ICS or triple therapy) and vice versa.
