Hospital admissions and readmissions for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are associated with increased mortality and higher cost. The management of exacerbations with a shortened course of systemic corticosteroids has similar efficacy as compared to longer steroid courses, but actual overall steroid dose given is still variable. The outcomes associated with steroid side effects, such as hyperglycemia, need further evaluation. We hypothesized that the use of higher doses of corticosteroids, and the subsequent hyperglycemia, contributes to readmission.

Corticosteroid Dosing and Glucose Levels in COPD Patients Are Not Associated with Increased Readmissions
