Overview
Brief Summary
This non-interventional study aims to collect information on the patient's quality of life, as well as the quality of sleep when stepping up to a fixed triple maintenance therapy (Trimbow®) as per physicians' decision, independent from study participation, and to assess its effectiveness in daily life, in general practitioner setting.
Detailed Description
This non-interventional study assesses the real-life effectiveness, with focus on patient's quality of life, of the fixed triple therapy Trimbow® after stepping up from a dual therapy in clinical practice at first line centres in patients with confirmed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Data will be collected on availability as per usual care at baseline, 3 and 6 months after inclusion.
