  1. T0 =at baseline, before Beclomethasone dipropionate/Formoterol and Fluticasone furoate/Vilanterol treatment
  2. T1 = after 12 weeks of Beclomethasone dipropionate/Formoterol and Fluticasone furoate/Vilanterol treatment
  3. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s, litres, FEV1 (L)
  4. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s, predicted values, FEV1(%)
  5. [95 % CI, confidence interval]
  6. p refers to Wilcoxon rank-sum test
  7. Group A: patients treated with Beclomethasone dipropionate/Formoterol 100/6 μg b.i.d
  8. Group B: patients treated with Fluticasone furoate/Vilanterol 92/22 μg once-a-day
