Brief Summary

Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) represent a leading cause of morbidity and mortality.Patients admitted to hospital present higher mortality rates.The investigators lack the specific tools that allow us to easily classify and establish the individual prognosis for each patient during their hospitalization. Rational of the study:to identify the predictive factors for hospital mortality in critically ill patients admitted to hospital due to an episode of COPD exacerbation.

Conditions

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Calculate the mortality of exacerbated patients based on APACHE II and SOFA score, respiratory rate upon admittance, age, pO2/ FiO2 in the first few hours of admittance.

  Calculate mortality caused by AECOPD depend upon APACHE II and SOFA score

  24 hours

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 20 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

We include for study all patients critically ill hospitalized for COPD exacerbation during the study period.

You may qualify if:

• We include for study all patients critically ill hospitalized for COPD exacerbation during the study period

You may not qualify if:

• Patients who refuse to be admitted to hospital after having been properly informed, and their families as well, of the possible risks that they are assuming.
• Specific diagnosis: pulmonary edema, rib fractures, aspiration, pleural effusion, etc. upon admission.
• Other associated respiratory pathology that determines treatment: pulmonary fibrosis, kyphoscoliosis, neuromuscular pathology, upper airway obstruction, extensive tuberculosis sequelae.
