Increased in-hospital mortality and readmission risk associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular comorbidities in acute exacerbation of COPD patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular comorbidities are prevalent in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), but their impact on in-hospital outcomes and the risk of readmission remains unclear. This study aimed to describe the proportions of these comorbidities and assess their influence on patient outcomes.

Methods

Hospital admission records from 2013 to 2020 with a primary discharge diagnosis of AECOPD were retrieved from Beijing Public Health Information Centre database. Comorbidities were identified through discharge diagnoses, while in-hospital outcomes and subsequent readmissions were tracked. Logistic regression model, generalised linear model and subdistributional hazard model were used to evaluate the associations
