Most of the events, traditionally all classified as severe because of the hospitalisation, were classified as moderate, while almost 15% were mild. The results of this study provide insight into the heterogeneity of hospitalised ECOPD and show that the newly proposed Rome criteria can differentiate between events with different short-term mortality rates.
