The PEACE study

This is a randomised controlled trial of the effect of carbocisteine on acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, although I can't immediately see why it is called PEACE. However, that aside, it is in the Lancet, doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(08)60869-7. Access should be possible for University of Leicester members, who are welcome to contact me if they have problems.
