There was no consensus on whether the initial treatment for this patient group should be a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) or a long-acting beta agonist (LABA). If the patient has persistent exacerbations, triple therapy with LAMA, LABA and an inhaled corticosteroid (IC) should be started. Finally, for patients with FEV<span class="elsevierStyleInf">1</span> ≥50%, recommendations were only established for cases with a high risk of exacerbations, in which the recommendation is to identify the phenotype to adjust the treatment, administering a LAMA and LABA as the first choice. For cases with the mixed COPD-asthma phenotype, the recommended treatment is generally the combination LABA and IC (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0010">Table 2</a>) and <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#sec0100">appendix, Table S2, supplemental material</a>).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0355"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20,21</span></a></p><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0010"></elsevierMultimedia></span><span id="sec0060" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0080">Recommendations associated with dyspnea</span><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We divided the recommendations into 2 categories: those associated with an MMRC dyspnea grade 0–1 and those associated with a dyspnea grade 2–4.
