Percentage of Incident COPD-patients With Initial Treatment Not in Line Treatment Guideline - COPD-12 Sample Secondary · At index date.

Percentage of incident chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with initial drug treatment not in line with 2012/2018 german guidelines. Results are reported for COPD-12 sample.
