Background And Objective: Fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (FF/VI; RELVAR ELLIPTA) is approved in Korea for patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of FF/VI in Korean patients with asthma and/or COPD over a 6-year period.
Methods: This was an open-label, multicentre, observational, post-marketing surveillance study in patients newly treated with FF/VI (100 or 200 μg/25 μg once daily).
Background: Umeclidinium/vilanterol (UMEC/VI; ANORO ELLIPTA, GSK) is a commonly used dual bronchodilator. This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of UMEC/VI in Korean patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) over a 6-year period.
Methods: This was an open-label, multicentre, observational, post-marketing surveillance study.
Background: Multiple inhaler triple therapy (MITT), comprising inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), long-acting beta-agonists (LABA), and long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA), has been used as an escalation treatment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, real-world use of MITT has not been investigated in Asia, including South Korea. This study reports baseline characteristics of patients with COPD initiated on MITT in South Korea, and their treatment patterns.

Here, a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was performed to compare the clinical efficacy between ultra-LABA and ultra-LAMA in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD.
Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched (to March 1, 2017) to identify all published randomized controlled trials.
Background: Data on the clinical characteristics of asthma patients including utilization of medical facilities, disease management, and healthcare costs by types of health care are insufficient.
Methods: We evaluated data on 729,343 asthma patients from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) database of Korea between July 2013 and June 2014.
Results: Most asthma patients were treated via primary care (81.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a major medical challenge and frequently coexists with cardiovascular disease (CVD), which can be treated by statin trerapy. However, whether statin treatment affects renal progression and outcomes in CKD patients remains unclear. We retrospectively reviewed CKD patients at Gachon University Gil Medical Center from 2003-2013.

Materials And Methods: Patients who were 1) age ≥65 years, 2) newly diagnosed aggressive NHL, and 3) treated with multi-agent chemotherapy within 2 weeks from the time of diagnosis were enrolled from January 2011 to June 2014. Baseline clinical, laboratory, and CGA data being composed of Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF), Korean version of Mini Mental Status Exam, Korean-Geriatric Depression Scale, and Groningen Frailty Index (GFI), were collected and analyzed for the relation to the outcome factors.
