Abstract
+cells (1.71, 95% CI 1.15-2.53), and mast cells (1.91, 95% CI 1.36-2.68). The sputum total cell counts increased significantly in GL2 (1.90, 95% CI 1.42-2.54), as did counts of macrophages (2.10, 95% CI 1.55-2.86), neutrophils (1.92, 95% CI 1.39-2.65) and lymphocytes (2.01, 95% CI 1.46-2.78).ICS discontinuation increases airway inflammation in patients with moderate-severe COPD, suggesting that the anti-inflammatory effects of ICS in COPD are not maintained after ICS discontinuation
