The objective of this study was to examine COPD-related outcomes for patients with comorbid depression/anxiety who are on combination fluticasone propionate/salmeterol xinafoate compared to those receiving anticholinergics.
The prevalence of comorbid depression/anxiety in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is estimated to be high and range from 10-40%, given that the risk of depression/anxiety symptoms is almost 3 times higher in patients with versus without COPD. Additionally, patients with comorbid COPD and depression/anxiety have higher COPD-related healthcare utilization and costs compared to those without depression/anxiety. Therapy with maintenance medications for COPD has been recommended to prevent future adverse COPD outcomes, but the impact of initiating these interventions has not yet been evaluated in a higher-risk population with comorbid COPD-depression/anxiety. The present study compares the risk of COPD exacerbations and COPD-related costs in patients initiating maintenance medications for treatment of COPD in a comorbid COPD/depression-anxiety population. Maintenance medications include inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), long-acting beta agonist (LABA), combination drug product of ICS+LABA, and anti-cholinergics (AC) including tiotropium (TIO) and ipratropium or combination ipratropium-albuterol (collectively abbreviated as IPR).
This was a retrospective cohort study using a large administrative database (study period: 1/1/2003 through 6/30/2009). Date of first FSC or ACs (tiotropium; ipratropium alone or in combination with albuterol) was defined as the index date. Managed care enrollees (aged >40 years) having at least one medical claim with a primary diagnosis of COPD (ICD code 491.xx, 492.xx and 496.xx) and a diagnosis of depression (at least one claim with depression/anxiety or at least one prescription claim for depression/anxiety) in one-year pre-index and within 60-days post-index were defined in the comorbid population. Patients were continuously eligible throughout the one-year pre and post-index periods. Negative binomial models were used to analyze number of COPD-related events [hospitalization (IP), emergency department (ED), office visits with oral steroid and/or antibiotic prescription within 5 days (OV+Rx)] and logistic regression was used to examine risk of COPD events between the two cohorts. COPD-related costs were compared between the two cohorts using - generalized linear model with log-link/gamma distribution after adjusting for baseline differences.
Specifically the study hypothesis for the primary outcome being tested was:
Ho: There is no difference in risk of any COPD-related exacerbation between FSC and AC cohorts Ha: There is a difference in risk of any COPD-related exacerbation between FSC and AC cohorts
Hypothesis for the key secondary outcome of COPD-related costs that was tested was:
Ho: There is no difference in COPD-related costs between FSC and AC cohorts Ha: There is a difference in COPD-related costs between FSC and AC cohorts

| COPD patients with comorbid depression/anxiety | Patients aged 40 and over with COPD and comorbid depression/anxiety. Managed care enrolees (aged >40 years) having newly initiated drug therapy with FSC or AC during the identification period (01/01/2004 to 06/30/2008) to treat COPD with a medical or pharmacy claim for depression before and 60 days post index date were the target population. The first fill date of FSC or AC was the index date. |

The study population included patients with both COPD and depression/anxiety. They were identified as follows: Patients who had at least one pharmacy claim for a maintenance medication used to treat COPD were identified. Of these, patients were considered to have comorbid depression/anxiety if they had at least one prescription claim for a medication used to treat depression/anxiety and a diagnosis code for depression/anxiety during 1 year pre-index or within 60 days after the index date.
