Why the study?

Patients hospitalized for COPD exacerbation are at risk of early readmission, and understanding related frequency and risk factors can help develop readmission reduction strategies.

Population

110 patients over 40 years of age hospitalized with AECOPD

Comparison

Readmitted vs nonreadmitted patients within 30 days of discharge

Design

Prospective comparative case series study

Follow-up

30 days

Overview

May inform post-AECOPD risk stratification; case-report data leave open generalizability and require prospective validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
110 patients over 40 years of age hospitalized for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD)
O
Outcome
Frequency of readmission for any reason within 30 days after dischargehard clinical

Readmissions within 30 days after AECOPD hospitalization are common (30.9%) and costly, with low FEV1% and shorter COPD diagnosis time being significant predictors.
