Clinicopathological relationship between PM2.5 exposure and acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Elevated PM2.5 exposure significantly increases the risk of AECOPD, linked to heightened inflammation, pulmonary fibrosis, and diminished pulmonary function, and the majority of these patients are over 60 years old or are smokers. This study provides valuable theoretical and practical insights for the proactive prevention and management of AECOPD in clinical settings.
