July 2012 June 2013 Comparison of Mometasone and Formoterol Versus Budesonide/Formoterol
in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Battle Creek Veterans Affairs Medical Center Battle Creek, MI
Mentors: Terrence Baugh PharmD, BCPS and Jeanne Anderson, PharmD, BCPS
The purpose of this study was to compare the rates of worsening of
symptoms during the six months before and after formulary conversion
from mometasone and formoterol to combined budesonide/formoterol.
Electronic medical records were reviewed and the rate of occurrence of
an episode characteristic of a worsening of symptoms was calculated. No
significant differences were found in the primary outcome, but significant
improvements in compliance, measured by a medication possession ratio,
were seen with budesonide/formoterol.
