  • Title: [Pelargonium sidoides in acute bronchitis - Health-related quality of life and patient-reported outcome in adults receiving EPs 7630 treatment].

    Abstract:
    Health-related quality of life (HRQL) and patient-reported outcome (PRO) have become important outcome parameters for the evaluation of medical treatment within clinical trials and, furthermore, to evaluate efficiency in clinical practice. We therefore report further exploratory results of an already reported dose-finding study with EPs 7630 tablets, now focussing on HRQL and PRO. A total of 406 adults with acute bronchitis were randomly assigned to one of four parallel treatment groups (placebo, 30 mg, 60 mg or 90 mg EPs 7630 daily). HRQL and PRO were assessed by questionnaires as secondary outcome measures at each study visit or daily in the patient's diary. At day 7, the patient-reported outcome measures were significantly more improved in all the three EPs 7630 groups compared to placebo (EQ-5D and EQ VAS, SF-12: physical score, impact of patient's sickness, duration of activity limitation, patient-reported treatment outcome, satisfaction with treatment). In conclusion, a statistically significant and clinically relevant improvement of HRQL/PRO compared to placebo was shown in all the three EPs 7630 groups.
