Tiotropium in Combination with Placebo, Salmeterol, or Fluticasone–Salmeterol for Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Figure 2.
Figure 2. Kaplan–Meier estimates of the probability of remaining free of exacerbations, according to treatment assignment.

The unadjusted hazard ratio was 1.02 (95% CI, 0.77 to 1.37) for tiotropium plus placebo versus tiotropium plus salmeterol (P = 0.87) and 0.80 (CI, 0.60 to 1.08) for tiotropium plus placebo versus tiotropium plus fluticasone–salmeterol (P = 0.15). COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
