Abstract

Objective: The aim of our study was to study the COPD phenotypes, comorbidities and factors predicting treatment outcomes in patients with acute exacerbations of COPD admitted in hospital. Methodology: A retrospective study of fifty patients with acute exacerbation of COPD admitted in a tertiary care hospital during July 2015 to August 2016 was done. Results: It was observed that the mean duration of hospital stay was 8 ± 7 days with 44% of the patient discharged in less than 7 days (short stay) and 56% of patients in more than 7 days (long stay). The factors favouring longer stay in hospital include history of current smoking, hypoxia and CO₂ retention while patients on active COPD treatment and cessation of smoking leads to shorter hospital stay. Conclusion: For patients with acute exacerbations of COPD requiring hospitalization, history of current smoking with hypoxia and CO₂ retention are associated with longer stay in hospital while patients on active COPD treatment and cessation of smoking leads to shorter hospital stay.
