Özet

Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) related visits to the emergency department have increased substantially during the past decade. An important challenge facing emergency physicians when treating COPD patients is deciding on disposition. The aim of this study was to evaluate Integrated Pulmonary Index scoring to guide the disposition decisions of emergency physicians by comparing its compatibility with Ottawa COPD Risk Score.
