Persons with COPD and COVID-19 had a lower mortality rate (13%) compared to other studies in the early pandemic phase. Non-survivors had increased ICU utilization, endotracheal intubation, and more frequent application of volume control mode. Discharging survivors to long-term acute care facilities may reduce 30-day hospital readmissions.
