About this trial
Study Population: 4000 stable COPD patients, and among them approximately 2000 subjects with hypertension and/or type 2 diabetes complications.
Design: Cohort Study Primary Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to access the effectiveness of IDM on changes in FEV1 from baseline to the 24th week visit in patients with COPD.
Statistical Analysis: We plan to compare demographic differences between groups based on whether the data conformed to normal distribution and satisfied variance chi-square, and proposed to calculate p-values using the t-test or non-parametric test for continuous data and Person's χ² or non-parametric test for categorical data. A two-sided p-value \< 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
