Variability of baseline eosinophil count at stable-state might predict the exacerbation risk of COPD, exclusively among patients with baseline eosinophil count below 300 cells/µL. The cut-off value for variability was 50 cells/µValidation of the study findings in large scale prospective study would be meaningful.
