Association between eosinophil count and prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between blood eosinophil levels and the risk of increased exacerbations, acute respiratory failure (ARF) and mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) remains controversial. This association may predict future exacerbations and clinical outcomes among patients with COPD. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between eosinophil count and risk of acute exacerbation, ARF and mortality s in patients with COPD.

Methods

The data for this retrospective cohort study were collected from TriNetX, a global multicentre research database. Using the Global Collaborative Research Networks, patients aged > 40 years with a diagnosis of COPD were examined for the association between blood eosinophil counts and the risk of acute exacerbation d
