Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy of tiotropium bromide (TB) combined with budesonide formoterol (BUD/FM) inhalation in treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: 62 COPD patients admitted to the hospital between June 2020 and December 2022 were selected as samples for this study. The patients were divided into a combination group and a conventional group using the random number table method, with 31 cases in each group. The patients in the combination group were treated with TB combined with BUD/FM inhalation, whereas the patients in the conventional group were treated with BUD/FM inhalation only. The treatment efficacy and changes in lung function indicators of both groups were compared. Results: The total efficacy of treatment in the combined group was higher than that in the conventional group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there was no difference in pulmonary function indicators between the two groups (P > 0.05). After three months of treatment, all lung function indicators of the combined group were higher than those of the conventional group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Combining TB with BUD/FM inhalation therapy increases the efficacy of treatment for patients with COPD. Besides, it also improves lung function and leads to a better prognosis.
