Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and subsequent risk of emergency department visits and hospitalizations for atrial fibrillation.
Although emerging evidence has suggested the relationship of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with atrial fibrillation (AF), little is known about whether acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) increases the risk of repeated AF-related healthcare utilization. The investigators found that among patients with existing AF, AECOPD was associated with a higher risk of AF-related ED visit or hospitalization in the first 90-day post-AECOPD period.

Incidence of acute cardiovascular event after acute exacerbation of COPD.
There is a lack of comprehensive view of the association between acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) and the risk of acute cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study was to determine the association of AECOPD with 30-day and 1-year incidences of acute cardiovascular event. The investigators concluded that AECOPD was associated with increased 30-day and 1-year incidences of acute cardiovascular event.

Seasonal variation in readmission risk for patients hospitalized with cardiopulmonary conditions.
The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine whether seasonal differences in risk were related to variations in reason for admission or due to seasonal variations in risk strata. The investigators observed significant increases in hospitalizations during winter months for heart failure, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and other cardiopulmonary conditions.
