Abstract
This group of COPD patients has a high mortality rate and need for re-hospitalisation in the ensuing year following discharge. The variables relating to the severity of the baseline disease and the actual exacerbation have been shown to be associated with these events, and could be applied to this subgroup of patients in specific follow-up programs.
