COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. ACEIs, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. ARBs, angiotensin II receptor blockers. Ages are shown as mean ± standard deviation. All other characteristics are shown as number of cases (percentage). P values were calculated by Fisher's exact test. +: drug usage; −: non-drug usage.
