摘要：COPD is a prevalent chronic disease among older adults, responsible for substantial healthcare utilization. We used the NC DETECT surveillance system to investigate patterns of hospitalizations and short-term return visits resulting from COPD-related ED visits. We found a high prevalence of hospital admissions and return ED visits, including many repeat hospitalizations. We also provide new information about the impact of age, sex, and insurance status on these short-term outcomes.
