Key result
Depression was independently associated with an increased risk of 1-year readmission for acute exacerbation of COPD (adjusted OR 2.67; 95% CI 1.59-4.47).

Does depression increase the risk of readmission for acute exacerbation of COPD in patients hospitalized for COPD?
Depression is an independent risk factor for short- and long-term readmissions following hospitalization for acute exacerbation of COPD.
May support depression screening in COPD readmission models; hypothesis-generating for interventional trials.

Iyer et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (n=422). Depression vs. No depression was evaluated on 1-year readmission for acute exacerbation of COPD (OR 2.67, 95% CI 1.59-4.47). Depression was independently associated with an increased risk of 1-year readmission for acute exacerbation of COPD (adjusted OR 2.67; 95% CI 1.59-4.47).
