Predictors of mortality and hospitalised exacerbations in obstructive airway diseases
Previous exacerbations, current smoking, frailty and overuse of SABDs were significantly associated with hospitalised exacerbations and mortality in patients with asthma and/or COPD. The results of this nationwide cohort study highlight the importance of achieving disease control, smoking prevention and tackling frailty in primary care.
