“…The present study results showed that within the AECOPD inhospital patients, the mortality was 18.4%, significantly higher than the reported validation studies with a 7.7% prediction value or a value between 7.58 and 17% in various studies [12][13][14][15] . The justification for this high mortality rate prediction can be the geographical region wherein the country faces a high poverty ratio and is unaware of the associated risk factors and symptoms of AECOPD and other healthcare services.…”

“…Elevated PaCO2 is a sign of acidosis, which in chronic patients is compensated by increased bicarbonate levels, keeping the pH in the normal range. 11 Another predictor of severe morbidity and mortality was FEV1 volume which was 1.05 ± 0.51 L in our study. The average FEV1/FVC ratio was 46.3%.…”

“…In case of ventilated patients, this rate may go up higher to 40%. [11][12][13] In India, a mortality rate of 12% has been reported among the persons who were hospitalized. 14 During COPD, there is an increased decline in the forced expiratory volume in 1 second by the patient with age leading to airway inflammation.…”

“…The major outcome our study has shown is 34 (29.8%) in-hospital mortalities which was substantially higher than the mortalities reported in the validation studies of predicting inhospital mortalities in acute ECOPD, i.e., 7.7% by Echevarria et al, 7.58% by Yousif and El Wahsh, 12.5% by Nafae et al, 17% by Kumar and Choubey, all of which had comparable sample sizes except the study by Echevarria et al (sample of >800 patients) [6,8,13,14]. The reason for higher mortality rate in our study may be poverty, ignorance of the risk factors and symptoms of acute ECOPD and lack of awareness about emergency and routine healthcare services that an individual can have access to before their situation becomes life-threatening.…”
