Rate is the number of events per 1000 patient-years, calculated as the number of events × 1000 divided by the total treatment exposure.

# number of events, AE adverse event, AESI adverse event of special interest, BMD bone mineral density, COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, FF fluticasone furoate, ITT intent-to-treat, LRTI lower respiratory tract infection, SAE serious adverse event, TIO tiotropium, UMEC umeclidinium, VI vilanterol.

aAEs leading to permanent discontinuation or study withdrawal included pneumonia (FF/UMEC/VI n = 1 [<1%]; TIO n = 1 [<1%]), oral fungal infection (FF/UMEC/VI n = 1 [<1%]; TIO n = 0), postoperative wound infection (FF/UMEC/VI n = 1 [<1%]; TIO n = 0), hemorrhagic stroke (FF/UMEC/VI n = 0; TIO n = 1 [<1%]), ischemic stroke (FF/UMEC/VI n = 0; TIO n = 1 [<1%]), tremor (FF/UMEC/VI n = 1 [<1%]; TIO n = 0), cardiac arrest (FF/UMEC/VI n = 1 [<1%]; TIO n = 0), palpitations (FF/UMEC/VI n = 1 [<1%]; TIO n = 0), asthenia (FF/UMEC/VI n = 1 [<1%]; TIO n = 0), insomnia (FF/UMEC/VI n = 1 [<1%]; TIO n = 0), COPD (FF/UMEC/VI n = 1 [<1%]; TIO n = 0), and hyperhidrosis (FF/UMEC/VI n = 1 [<1%]; TIO n = 0).
