Risk factors associated with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in HIV-infected and uninfected patients.
This study sought to determine the association between HIV infection and other risk factors for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). It concluded that HIV infection, especially with lower CD4 cell count, is an independent risk factor for AECOPD. Enhanced susceptibility to harm from current smoking or unhealthy alcohol use in HIV-infected patients may also contribute to the greater rate of AECOPD.
AHRQ-funded; HS023258.
