Discussion Among 188 969 patients with COPD in Alberta, Canada, we found that higher SABA, antibiotic and OCS dispensation in a given year was associated with significantly higher rates of subsequent 90-day all-cause and COPD-related mortality. Higher SABA dispensation was also associated with higher rates of subsequent 90-day postexacerbation MACE and CVD death. This study shows increased SABA, antibiotic and OCS dispensation to be potential indicators of greater mortality rate.
