Inhaled long acting 2-agonists (LABA) are often poorly adhered to by elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The objectives of this study were to compare drug-specific compliance of transdermal and inhaled LABA, and to identify the risk factors for underuse of inhaled LABA.
Efficacy
Confirmatory
Pragmatic
Not applicable
The primary outcomes were adherence to the medication and change in a 6-minute walk distance (6MWD).
The secondary outcomes were spirometric values and quality of life (QOL) measured by the St.George's Respiratory Questionnaire.

We conducted a randomized, crossover study comparing the adherence to and efficacy of LABA between the transdermal tulobuterol patch (TP, 2 mg once a day) and inhaled salmeterol (50 g, twice a day) in elderly COPD patients.

Male and Female
All patients had clinical features consistent with the presence of moderate-to-severe COPD including the spirometric criteria of post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio of less than 0.7 and FEV1 between 30% and 80% of the predicted values for height and age, and their condition remained stable during the past month.
The exclusion criteria included age younger than 65 years, dementia and any previously use of inhaled medications such as 2-agonists, anti-cholinergics or corticosteroids, patched 2-agonist, or systemic corticosteroids. Patients with dermatological disorders, severe heart diseases, uncontrolled hypertension or other diseases for which patch preparations or treatments with 2-agonists was considered inappropriate were also excluded.

Unpublished
Twenty-six patients with moderate-to-severe COPD were enrolled. Overall compliance rate was 87.7+2.6 % for TP and 72.2+4.9 % for salmeterol (p<0.05). Adherence to TP was greater than that to salmeterol in patients >80 years old (y/o) and those with mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score <25 (p<0.05 and p=0.06, respectively), but not in patients<80 y/o or those with MMSE>25. As compared with baseline, a similar degree of increase in 6MWD, %VC, %FVC, FEV1 and FEF25-75% was demonstrated after treatment with TP and salmeterol (p<0.05), though QOL was not significantly improved. Adherence to TP and salmeterol was positively correlated with increases in 6MWD.
