| Popis: | Background: Approximately 3.2 million global deaths occur each year due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in which exacerbations of COPD remain a prevailing cause. Exacerbations requiring hospitalization are associated with high mortality, and mortality risk is increased with higher exacerbation frequencies. Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to prospectively identify the risk factors of COPD that cause readmission within 90 days after admission to the hospital due to acute exacerbations of COPD. Materials and Methods: An observational study conducted at the School of Pulmonary Excellence, NSCB Medical College, Jabalpur, from the duration of March 2021 to August 2022 with a sample size of 140 estimated through 56% prevalence of readmission rate in available literature. Study participants, including all patients, were readmitted within 90 days after admission due to acute exacerbation of COPD (post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC 10 was 64% and |
