Poor treatment outcomes of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and their associated factors among admitted patients in East Gojjam, 2023

Abstract

Approximately one-third of the patients treated for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at the Debre Markos Comprehensive Specialized Hospital experienced poor treatment outcomes. There is a significant association between poor treatment outcomes of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and age ≥ 65 years, having comorbidities, prolonged hospital stay, and low oxygen saturation.
