A model to predict mortality in ICU patients with acute exacerbation of COPD

Description

Abstract:
Recognizing factors associated with mortality in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) could reduce healthcare costs and improve end-of-life care. Previous studies have explored some variables, but analysis is lacking on the combined effect of epidemiologic factors and comorbidities. This study examined the factors associated with mortality in a model incorporating comorbidities, comorbidity indices, and epidemiologic factors.
