Xueyang ZhangQingtao ZhouShengfeng WangQingbian MaYongchang SunPublished in: Emergency medicine international (2022)
In COPD patients visiting the ED because of worsening respiratory symptoms, nearly 20% were due to non-AECOPD causes. For those with AECOPD, age, atrial fibrillation, NT-pro BNP ≥300 pg/ml, and blood pH <7.3 were independent risk factors for ICU admission, while advanced age, underlying malignancy, elevated NT-pro BNP, and pneumonia on CT scan were risk factors for hospital mortality.
