Construction of a risk prediction model for in-hospital mortality in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Key Points

• This research aims to create a model to predict in-hospital mortality for patients suffering from acute exacerbations of COPD.
• Developed a nomogram utilizing factors like mechanical ventilation and heart failure.
• Analyzed data related to disease duration and admission conditions.
• Evaluated predictive performance using clinical data from AECOPD patients.
• The nomogram demonstrated excellent predictive ability for in-hospital mortality.
• Inclusion of variables like mechanical ventilation significantly improved predictions.
