Study of prognostic factors in patients with acute respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary Disease / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the prognostic factors in patients with acute respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in EICU. Method Clinical data of 39 patients admitted to EICU from May 2005 to May 2007 were retrospectivley analyzed. Results In death group, the pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) ,creatinine (Cr) ,APACHE-Ⅱ score, and APACHE-Ⅲ score were increased (P < 0. 05) and ICU stays were prolonged (P < 0.05) ; Respiratory rate (RR) and Glasgow coma score (GCS) were decreased (P < 0.05). Conclusion PAP, Cr, APACHE-Ⅱ score,APACHE-Ⅲ score,RR and GCS predict the prognosis of the patients with acute respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
