[The value of coexisting pneumonia and British Thoracic Society CURB-65 score in predicting early mortality rate in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
To investigate the value of coexisting pneumonia and British Thoracic Society CURB-65 score in predicting early mortality in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). ⋯ In patients with AECOPD, coexisting pneumonia is not only a risk factor for in-hospital mortality, but also a predictor for the treatment of assisted ventilation. CURB-65 score may be a good predictor for early mortality in patients with AECOPD.
