GOLD COPD Exacerbation History Categories and Disease Outcomes
This study's findings suggest a limited estimative performance of ECOPD history categories by GOLD. Novel cutoffs were suggested, categorizing patients as without exacerbations or with high-risk exacerbations based on a history of 1 or more moderate ECOPD, 1 or more severe ECOPD, or both within 12 months.
