Zinka Matkovic publishes her work entitled “Predictors of Adverse Outcome in Patients Hospitalised for Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease” in The Journal Respiration

Patients with previous exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypercapnia and hypoxaemia had the highest risk of an unfavourable evolution. This is the main conclusion of the manuscript recently published in Respiration and signed by: Matkovic Z, Huerta A, Soler N, Domingo R, Gabarrús A, Torres A, Miravitlles M. To draw this conclusion authors prospectively evaluated demographic and clinical parameters, including different multidimensional prognostic scores in patients admitted for exacerbation of COPD.
