متن کاملCase-fatality of COPD exacerbations: a meta-analysis and statistical modeling approach Short title: Case-fatality of COPD exacerbations
Objective of the study was to estimate the case-fatality of a severe exacerbation from longterm survival data presented in the literature. A literature search identified studies reporting at least 1.5 year survival after a severe COPD exacerbation resulting in hospitalization.

متن کاملExacerbations of COPD
Exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are defined as sustained worsening of a patient's condition beyond normal day-to-day variations that is acute in onset, and that may also require a change in medication and/or hospitalization. Exacerbations have a significant and prolonged impact on health status and outcomes, and negative effects on pulmonary function. A significant...
متن کاملCase fatality of COPD exacerbations: a meta-analysis and statistical modelling approach.
The aim of our study was to estimate the case fatality of a severe exacerbation from long-term survival data presented in the literature. A literature search identified studies reporting ≥1.5 yr survival after a severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation resulting in hospitalisation. The survival curve of each study was divided into a critical and a stable period. Mortalit...
