Prediction of Severe Exacerbations and Mortality in COPD: the Role of Exacerbation History and Inspiratory Capacity/Total Lung Capacity Ratio

BACKGROUND: Severe exacerbations and mortality are major outcomes in COPD, and risk factors for these events are actively searched for. Several predictors of mortality have been identified in COPD. The inspiratory capacity/total lung capacity (IC/TLC) ratio has been shown to be a strong predictor of...
