Open triple therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Patterns of prescription, exacerbations and healthcare costs from a large Italian claims database

ConclusionsThis large observational study based on claims data reliably identified subjects with COPD treated with open TT and their burden on the NHS. Moreover, it could describe the real clinical management of the open TT, before the marketing of the fixed one. These findings are useful for health policymakers in order to promote the appropriate utilization of both currently marketed and future therapies.
