Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) hospitalized for an exacerbation are at risk of early readmission for any reason within 30 days of discharge. Understanding the frequency and risk factors related to readmission can provide valuable input for the development of readmission reduction strategies. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency, specific risk factors and the cost analysis of early readmission for any reason within 30 days after discharge of the patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).
