Registered outcomes5

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryTime to First ExacerbationFrom baseline until end of follow-up, up to 3 years
Exacerbations will be defined as either a hospitalization with a primary diagnosis of asthma, an emergency room (ER) visit with a primary diagnosis of asthma, an asthma exacerbation diagnosis recorded.
SecondaryRate of Exacerbation at 6 Months and 1 Year of Follow-upAt 6 month and 1 year of follow-up
Exacerbation rate per 100 person-years. Follow-up period was from index date (date of the first prescription for Tiotropium Respimat® 1.25 mcg in Tio group; date of the first prescription from low to medium/high does or medium to high does or additional high-does of Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting beta-agonists (LABA) for NonTio group).
SecondaryHealth Care Resource Utilization (HCRU) During Follow-upDuring follow-up period, From baseline until end of follow-up, up to 3 years
Follow-up period was from index date (date of the first prescription for Tiotropium Respimat® 1.25 mcg in Tio group; date of the first prescription from low to medium/high does or medium to high does or additional high-does of Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting beta-agonists (LABA) for NonTio group) and up to 3 years of study period.
SecondaryChange in Lung Function (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) Score) at Baseline and Follow up PeriodFrom baseline until end of follow-up, up to 3 years
Follow-up period was from index date (date of the first prescription for Tiotropium Respimat® 1.25 mcg in Tio group; date of the first prescription from low to medium/high does or medium to high does or additional high-does of Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting beta-agonists (LABA) for NonTio group) and up to 3 years of study period. FEV1 score range from 0 to 100. Higher FEV1 score suggests normal lung function, while lower for dangerous. Only the descriptive statistics of FEV1 score were reported other than change of FEV1 score from baseline due to lack of enough data points.
SecondaryChange in Asthma Control Test (ACT) Score at Baseline and in the Follow up PeriodFrom baseline until end of follow-up, up to 3 years
Follow-up period was from index date (date of the first prescription for Tiotropium Respimat® 1.25 mcg in Tio group; date of the first prescription from low to medium/high does or medium to high does or additional high-does of Inhaled Corticosteroid (ICS)/long-acting beta-agonists (LABA) for NonTio group) and up to 3 years of study period. ACT score is based on a range of 5 to 25. Higher score indicates better asthma control. A score of 19 or less may be a sign that asthma symptoms not under control. Only the descriptive statistics of ACT score were reported other than change of ACT score from baseline due to lack of enough data points.
