PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 8 weeks

Population: Nasal sample data for all participants were not available as the readings were uninterpretable and not further analyzed.

NPD were assessed from nasal cells collected using sterile cytology brushes.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 8 weeks

Population: No participants were recruited in the Ex-Smokers with COPD due to difficulty in recruitment prior to study termination. Only 5 participants were analyzed for the Healthy Non-Smokers and Smokers without COPD arms as only 5 in each group had complete sets of samples that could be analyzed due to bad quality/quantity available.

Interleukin (IL)-8 concentrations were analyzed from samples on nasal lavage
