Abstract

BACKGROUND: Approximately 20% of patients who are discharged from hospital for an acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) are readmitted within 30 days. Prediction scores are helpful to identify those who are at higher risk of readmission, such that they can be prioritized for readmission-reducing interventions.
