The overall efficacy and safety of LAMA+ICS/LABA versus LAMA in patients with COPD were assessed by a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We identified LAMA+ICS/LABA RCTs by searching PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library database. Primary efficacy outcomes were changes in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1.0) from baseline. Incidences of all adverse events (AAEs) were the primary safety outcomes. Pooled estimates are presented as mean differences (MDs) or risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Analyses included intention-to-treat cases. Three LAMA+ICS/LABA RCTs met the criteria for inclusion in this study. The MD, RRs, and their 95% CIs regarding changes in FEV1.0 for LAMA+ICS/LABA compared with those of LAMA were 0.08 (0.04 to 0.13); RRs and 95% CIs for AAEs of LAMA+ICS/LABA compared with those of LAMA were 1.03 (0.82 to 1.29). Conclusions: Pulmonary function was significantly improved in the LAMA+ICS/LABA group with no significant increase in AAE risk. These results provide important analysis regarding the overall efficacy and safety of LAMA+ICS/LABA in patients with COPD.}, pages = {1--9}, title = {A Long-acting Muscarinic Antagonist (LAMA) Added to an Inhaled Corticosteroid and Long-acting Beta-2 Agonist Versus LAMA Alone in Moderate-to-severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease:A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Trials}, volume = {30}, year = {} }
