Synopsis: 
In this study, we analysed the data of patients hospitalized with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) to explore the aetiological distribution and drug resistance of pathogens, so as to enable a reasonable anti-infective treatment therapy and timely and effectively control the disease. We found that patients hospitalized with AECOPD were infected mainly with Gram-negative bacilli and with a higher rate of resistant strains of infection.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the aetiological distribution and drug resistance of pathogens in hospitalized patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to enable a reasonable anti-infective treatment therapy and timely and effective control of the disease.

Gender Differences in the Clinical Manifestations and Prognosis of Patients Hospitalized with Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Pages: 
1–5
Synopsis: 
There was statistical significance by gender for the first symptom at the beginning of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), and the frequency of hypertension, diabetes and ischaemic heart disease was significantly greater in females. For patients hospitalized with AECOPD, gender was not an independent risk factor for short- or long-term prognosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore gender differences in the clinical manifestations of patients hospitalized with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), and to find independent risk factors for their prognosis.
