Background: Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are common and lead to catastrophic events. Accurate prognostic tool for patients with exacerbation who required hospital admission is needed to predict the risk of in-hospital mortality and help physicians to select the appropriate level of care. Aim The aim was to compare the ability of conventional DECAF (dyspnea, eosinopenia, consolidation, acidemia, frequency of hospital admission) and modified DECAF scores to expect the in-hospital mortality rate.
