Association of frailty with clinical outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A retrospective longitudinal cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frailty is a clinical syndrome and common phenomenon in the elderly, particularly when it coexists with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the relationship between frailty and its prognosis in COPD patients has not been clearly elucidated.

Methods

In further, we divided them into different groups based on Frailty Index Common Laboratory Tests (FI-LAB). Binary logistic regression was performed to analyze the risk factors associated with COPD. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) were applied to validate FI-LAB's value in prog
