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.
