Popis: Abstract Purposes : Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of the rapid decline of health-related quality of life (HRQoL), associated with accelerated frailty in older populations. This study aimed to analyse the long-term dynamic changes of HRQoL and the predictive factors for the rapid decline of HRQoL in older patients with COPD. Methods Overall 244 patients with COPD, aged ≧ 65 years from one medical centre were enrolled between March 2012 and July 2020. Further, we prospectively assessed HRQoL scores with utility values, using EuroQol Five-Dimension (EQ-5D) questionnaires. Additionally, long-term dynamic changes in HRQoL were analysed using the Kernel smoothing method and examined the factors contributing to the deterioration of HRQoL using a linear mixed effects model. Results Older patients with COPD with forced expiration volume (FEV1)
