Brief Summary: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of a one-year treatment with inhaled tiotropium bromide 18 mcg once daily on lung function incidence and severity of exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD

The secondary purpose was to explore possible relationships between lung function changes and occurrence of COPD exacerbations and to try to characterize these exacerbations
Detailed Description: This was a multicentre randomised double blind parallel group placebo-controlled one year study It was designed to determine the effect of inhaled tiotropium treatment on airflow obstruction PEFR incidence and severity of exacerbations in patients with COPD

Following an initial 3-week screening period qualifying patients were randomized to either tiotropium or placebo at Visit 2 Patients returned to the clinic at weeks 6 Visit 3 12 Visit 4 24 Visit 5 36 Visit 6 48 Visit 7 and at Week 50 for the conclusion of the trial Visit 8 The patients received treatment daily for 48 weeks 336 days

PEFR as well as use of rescue medication and respiratory condition were self-assessed by patients and recorded every morning on a graphical diary card every morning The graphical presentation of these data was supposed to help investigators to detect exacerbations occurring between two consecutive visits

Details on hospitalizations due to COPD exacerbations were recorded in a special hospitalization booklet
