This poster outlines an active comparator, new user cohort study of chronic maintenance azithromycin (>=14 days supplied per dispensing) vs. roflumilast in individuals with uncontrolled chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and evidence of maintenance use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) + long-acting beta-agonists (LABA) + long-acting muscarinic agents (LAMA) in the Sentinel System using administrative claims data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
