We assessed in a prospective, randomised, placebo-controlled trial the effects of «yantar-antitox» in patients with exacerbations of COPD requiring hospital admission. We recruited patients with exacerbations of severe COPD who were randomly assigned oral «Yantar-antitox» (n=33) or identical placebo (n=45) for 14 days, in addition to standard treatment with nebulised bronchodilators, antibiotics, and oxygen. We did spirometry and recorded symptom scores in inpatients. The 6-min walking distance (6MWD) was also determined. Inflammatory markers were measured in induced sputum and serum. Significant increase in the percentage predicted lung vital capacity, maximal expiratory flow volume, 6MWD were found between the patient in the «Yantar-antitox» — treated group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
