The Effects of Comorbid Conditions on COPD Outcomes
AARC Congress 2019
(2019)
Abstract
COPD is the third leading cause of death by disease in the U.S. and continues to be a burden on the health care system. Patients with COPD often have other comorbid conditions that lead to early readmissions and increased length of stay. This leads to a tremendous cost burden. Practitioners need to be able to recognize the effect that these comorbid conditions can have. The presenter will outline the most prevalent comorbidities in patients with COPD and discuss the suggested outcome effects of these.
