Predictors of 6‐Month Mortality in Elderly Patients with Mild Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Discharged from a Medical Ward After Acute Nonacidotic Exacerbation

OBJECTIVES: To identify clinical outcomes and variables associated with 6‐month mortality in very elderly patients admitted for nonacidotic acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).
