Retrospective comparison reveals similar outcomes for COPD in hospital-at-home versus traditional settings, suggesting potential benefits.

This research aims to compare care delivery and outcomes for COPD patients in hospital-at-home and brick-and-mortar settings.
Conducted a retrospective cohort study using EHR data from 297 eligible adults with COPD.
Compared management and outcomes of 178 patients in hospital-at-home versus 119 in brick-and-mortar care.
Analyzed orders for supplemental oxygen and bronchodilators, as well as 30-day acute care-free days.
HaH patients exhibited a higher likelihood of receiving supplemental oxygen (RR: 1.04).
HaH patients had a greater likelihood of being prescribed bronchodilators (RR: 1.12).
Patients treated in HaH had more 30-day acute care-free days alive (MR: 1.04).
