Comprehensive comorbidity assessment for the ECOPD: a long-term multi-centre retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (ECOPD) results in severe adverse outcomes and mortality. It is often associated with increased local and systemic inflammation. However, individual susceptibility to exacerbations remains largely unknown. Our study aimed to investigate the association between comorbidities and exacerbation outcomes.

Methods

We included patients with the primary discharge diagnosis of exacerbation for more 10 years in China. Data on all comorbidities were collected and analysed to determine the impact of the comorbidities on 1-year exacerbation readmission, length of hospital stay, and hospital cost. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed, and predictive models were developed.
