Abstract
Inadequate inhaler technique and nonadherence to therapy are associated with poorer clinical outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Shared decision-making (SDM), based on clinical evidence, patient goals and preferences, improves quality of care. This study aims to investigate the initial patients' choices of inhaler devices in patients with newly-diagnosed COPD after an SDM process.
