Validation of the Rome proposal for severity of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Rome proposal provides an objective assessment tool for severity of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AE-COPD) but requires validation.

Objectives

We aimed to evaluate the predictive performance of the Rome proposal in patients with AE-COPD.

Design

This observational study assessed the patients who visited the emergency room (ER) or were hospitalized due to AE-COPD between January 2010 and December 2020.

Methods

We compared the performance of the Rome Proposal with that of the DECAF score or GesEPOC 2021 criteria in predicting intensive care unit (ICU) admission, need for non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and in-hospital mortality.

Results

A total of 740 events of ER visit o
