A Prospective Study of Cardiovascular Risk of Patients Admitted for Acute Exacerbation of COPD

This is a prospective study to assess the burden of existing or hidden cardiovascular (CV) and renal disease in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in a Hong Kong public hospital setting. By implementing a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) discharge care bundle with integrated CV/renal screening, the study aims to quantify undiscovered disease prevalence, evaluate risk factors for future exacerbations, and compare re-admission rates against historical controls, ultimately informing integrated cardiopulmonary management strategies.
