  1. n = patients with available data
  2. aRS-Total score ranged from 0 to 40
  3. bRS-Breathlessness domain score ranged from 0 to 17
  4. cRS-Cough & Sputum domain score ranged from 0 to 11
  5. dRS-Chest Symptoms domain score ranged from 0 to 12
  6. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms
  7. RS-Total and domain scores were higher in GOLD Groups B and D compared with Groups A and C (all p < 0.001; ANCOVA). RS-Total and RS-Breathlessness scores were higher in GOLD Group D compared with Group B (both p < 0.001; ANCOVA)
  8. ANCOVA, analysis of covariance; BID, twice daily; E-RS, Evaluating Respiratory Symptoms; GOLD, Global initiative for chronic Obstructive Lung Disease; SD, standard deviation
