GOLD Staging System is Appropriate to Predict Mortality in Older People With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
2018
Abstract Introduction In the new GOLD classification the reduction of FEV1, expressed as percentage of predicted value (FEV1PP), is considered an important prognostic factor. However, the use of FEV1PP may introduce bias, especially if based on equations derived from populations different from the one under study. We evaluated how well the GOLD classification stratifies the mortality risk when FEV1PP is based on an equation developed in the same population that gave rise to cases, externally developed equations, or as FEV1 divided by cubed height (FEV1/Ht3). Methods We studied 882 participants aged ≥65 years. Bronchial obstruction was defined using a fixed cut-off of 0.7 for FEV1/FVC. Predi…
Usage of BODE index to estimate the results of rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive lung disease
2008
Abstract: BODE index is the prognostic indicator in chronic obstructive lung disease, in which beyond bronchial obstruction the body mass index, dyspnea and competence exercise are taken into consideration. The indicator consists of few elements: B – BMI, O – obturation, D – dyspnea, E – exercise, taking into consideration various constitutional aspects of disease. The purpose of the paper was usage of BODE index in estimation of results of rehabilitation of patients with Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease. 60 in- hospital patients with chronic obstructive lung disease were examined, in Specialized Hospital MSWiA (Ministry of Interior and Administration) in Glucholazy. The pa-tients, who were…
BODE index or geriatric multidimensional assessment for the prediction of very-long-term mortality in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmo…

BACKGROUND a multidimensional approach-the BODE index-has been proposed for prognostic purposes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and theoretically seems to be well suited for elderly people, but there is a lack of data in this population, especially with respect to long-term survival. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the BODE index can predict both long (5 years) and very-long (10 and 15 years)-term mortality in an unselected population of elderly people with COPD better than a set of variables commonly taken into account in a geriatric multidimensional assessment (MDA). METHODS : this was a multicentre, prospective, population study. We used data from the S…
