Abstract

Between January 2003-2004 543 patients with COPD (FEV1 Results: Out of the 543 patients, 96% were male (average age of 68 years, BMI 28.3, 2.4±1.4 in Charlson and FEV1 of 55.0±13.1%). Regarding dyspnea, 48.6% reported dyspnea grade 2(MRC). The average distance covered in the 6MWT was 408.9±92.43m. 167 patients died during follow-up. Conclusions: – It is possible to improve the prediction ability of the original BODE by modifying the cutoffs. – An external validation of the results is needed.
