Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to research the differences of small airways function between subjects with diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and asthma-COPD overlap(ACO).The assessment of quality of life is also carried out through questionnaires.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized,open-label study to research the differences of small airways function between simple chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and asthma-COPD overlap(ACO).Assessment of small airways is conducted at baseline,including forced expired volume in one second(FEV1),forced vital capacity(FVC),peak expiratory flow(PEF),maximum expiratory flow rate at 75% of vital capacity(MEF75),maximum expiratory flow rate at 50% of vital capacity(MEF50),maximum expiratory flow rate at 25% of vital capacity(MEF25),impulse oscillometry,diffusion function,residual volume(RV) and total lung capacity(TLC).Budesonide(160ug) and formoterol(4.5ug) bid will be given to both groups(chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma-COPD overlap) for 3 months.Quality of life is assessed through questionnaires including modified Medical Research Council dyspnoea scale(mMRC),St George's Respiratory Questionnaire(SGRQ) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test(CAT).All of the patients will have a follow-up visit after 3 months' treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Differences of maximum expiratory flow rate at 75% of vital capacity(MEF75) between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease overlap3 months

Maximum expiratory flow rate at 75% of vital capacity(MEF75) is measured according to internationally accepted standards in both groups by Jaeger MasterScreen Pulmonary Function Test System.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Differences of maximum expiratory flow rate at 50% of vital capacity(MEF50) between two groups3 months

Maximum expiratory flow rate at 50% of vital capacity(MEF50) is measured according to internationally accepted standards in both groups by Jaeger MasterScreen Pulmonary Function Test System.

Differences of impulse oscillometry parameters between two groups3 months

Impulse oscillometry parameters are measured according to internationally accepted standards in both groups by Jaeger MasterScreen Pulmonary Function Test System.

Differences of diffusion function between two groups3 months

Diffusion function is measured according to internationally accepted standards in both groups by Jaeger MasterScreen Pulmonary Function Test System.

Changes of impulse oscillometry parameters(IOS) after 3 months' treatment compared with baseline in both groupsChange from baseline to 3 months

At baseline,impulse oscillometry is performed in each subject.After 3 months's treatment of budesonide and formoterol,the test will be performed again.

Change of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test(CAT) after 3 months' treatment compared with baselineChange from baseline to 3 months

The CAT test is used to assess the impact of COPD on patients' daily life.The scores range from 0 to 40,higher scores indicates worse respiratory condition.The CAT test is performed in both groups at baseline.After 3 months's treatment of budesonide and formoterol,the test will be performed again.

Changes of residual volume(RV) after 3 months' treatment compared with baseline in both groupsChange from baseline to 3 months

At baseline,residual volume(RV) is performed in each subject.After 3 months's treatment of budesonide and formoterol,the test will be performed again.

Change of modified Medical Research Council dyspnoea scale(mMRC) scores after 3 months' treatment compared with baselineChange from baseline to 3 months

The mMRC scale is used to assess the degree of breathlessness.The scores range from 0 to 4,higher scores indicates more serious respiratory condition.The mMRC is performed in both groups at baseline.After 3 months's treatment of budesonide and formoterol,the scores will be measured again.

Differences of maximum expiratory flow rate at 25% of vital capacity(MEF25) between two groups3 months

Maximum expiratory flow rate at 25% of vital capacity(MEF25) is measured according to internationally accepted standards in both groups by Jaeger MasterScreen Pulmonary Function Test System.

At baseline,maximum expiratory flow rate at 50% of vital capacity(MEF50) is performed in each subject.After 3 months's treatment of budesonide and formoterol,the test will be performed again.

Differences of residual volume(RV) between two groups3 months

Residual volume(RV) is measured according to internationally accepted standards in both groups by Jaeger MasterScreen Pulmonary Function Test System.

Differences of total lung capacity(TLC) between two groups3 months

Total lung capacity(TLC) is measured according to internationally accepted standards in both groups by Jaeger MasterScreen Pulmonary Function Test System.

Change of St George's Respiratory Questionnaire(SGRQ) scores after 3 months' treatment compared with baselineChange from baseline to 3 months

The SGRQ questionnaire is developed to measure the quality of life in patients with chronic airway diseases.Scores range from 0 to 100,higher scores indicates worse respiratory condition.The St George's Respiratory Questionnaire is performed in both groups at baseline.After 3 months's treatment of budesonide and formoterol,the scores will be measured again.

Changes of maximum expiratory flow rate at 75% of vital capacity(MEF75) after 3 months' treatment compared with baseline in both groupsChange from baseline to 3 months
