Article Synopsis
- The study investigates COVID-19 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using data from 13 databases across North America, Europe, and Asia between January and June 2020.
- It examines two groups of COVID-19 patients: those diagnosed with COVID-19 and those hospitalized, highlighting the prevalence of COPD among these groups and noting higher comorbidities and mortality rates in hospitalized patients.
- Key findings reveal significant variations in COPD prevalence by region, increased risk of severe outcomes like ARDS and sepsis in hospitalized patients, and the need for further research to identify high-risk COPD patients.
