  1. COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC = forced vital capacity; ICS = inhaled corticosteroids.
  2. *As per GOLD 2005
  3. Pack years = total years of smoking multiplied by cigarette packs smoked per day
  4. Post-bronchodilator (within 30 min after inhaling 400 μg salbutamol)
