Despite the use of effective medications to control #asthma, severe #exacerbations in asthma are still a major health #risk and require urgent action on the part of the patient and physician to prevent serious outcomes such as hospitalisation or death. Moreover, severe #exacerbations are associated with substantial healthcare costs and psychological burden, including anxiety and fear for patients and their families. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2849vbAZvR/?igshid=1o3heprffnd5e

ETHOS will provide data on #exacerbations, #patient-reported outcomes, mortality, and safety in 8572 patients with moderate-to-very severe #COPD receiving triple and dual fixed-dose combinations. For the first time, ICS/LAMA/LABA triple therapy with two different doses of ICS will be compared to dual ICS/LABA and LAMA/LABA therapies. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1hO0fPg-vG/?igshid=1mkkiruux1b2p
