Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of patients selected for treatment with roflumilast and the effectiveness and safety of roflumilast in patients with severe or very severe COPD treated in Hospital and outpatient specialist ward settings in Greece.
Detailed Description
The drug being observed in this study is called roflumilast. Roflumilast is used to treat people who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) associated with chronic bronchitis with a history of worsening symptoms. This study looked at side effects and the lung function of people who take roflumilast. The study enrolled 2577 patients who were already prescribed roflumilast as an add on to bronchiodilator treatment by their healthcare provider. This multi-centre trial was conducted in Greece. The overall time to participate in this study was up to 6 months. Participants were evaluated during routine appointments with their healthcare provider.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline in Ratio of Forced Expiratory Volume After 1 Second to Forced Vital Capacity (FEV1/FVC) at Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline and Month 6
The FEV1/FVC ratio represents the percentage of vital capacity expelled from the lungs during the first second of a forced exhalation.
Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline and Month 6
Vital capacity is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible.
Change from Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in First Second (FEV1) at Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline and Month 6
FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation.
Secondary Outcomes
- Percentage of Participants with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Exacerbations(Month 3 and Month 6)
- Percentage of Participants requiring Hospitalizations due to Exacerbations of COPD(Up to Month 6)
