History of frequent AECOPD admissions (OR 2.87; 95% CI 1.05-7.85) and ischemic heart disease (OR 4.04; 95% CI 1.1-14.6) were significantly associated with 3-month hospital readmission.

May inform short-term readmission risk stratification in AECOPD; leaves open whether targeting IHD or frequent exacerbations reduces readmissions.

In older patients hospitalized for AECOPD, comorbid ischemic heart disease and frequent prior admissions are significant predictors of short-term readmission.
Aqqad et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) (n=81). History of frequent AECOPD admissions vs. No history of frequent AECOPD admissions was evaluated on hospital readmission (OR 2.87, 95% CI 1.05-7.85, p=0.040). History of frequent AECOPD admissions (OR 2.87; 95% CI 1.05-7.85) and ischemic heart disease (OR 4.04; 95% CI 1.1-14.6) were significantly associated with 3-month hospital readmission.
