Background Hospital admissions are important contributors to the overall burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Understanding the patterns and causes of hospital admissions will help to identify targets for...



Conclusion: Hospital admissions following a first exacerbation-related hospitalization are common, non-respiratory events constitute the majority of admissions. Besides the respiratory causes, treatment targeting the non-respiratory causes of hospital admission should be considered to effectively decrease the burden of hospitalization in COPD.
