Abstract

Objectives: To study the prevalence of acute COPD exacerbations and factors associated with acute exacerbation in Phaholpolpayuhasena Hospital.

Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with COPD who received treatment at the COPD clinic, Phaholpolpayuhasena Hospital, Kanchanaburi Province, from January to April 2024. A total of 200 patients were included. Data on potential factors influencing acute exacerbations were collected. Data were analyzed using chi-square or Fisher's exact tests and multivariate analysis with multiple logistic regression.

Conclusions: The prevalence of acute COPD exacerbation in Phaholpolpayuhasena Hospital within 1 year is 16.5%. Factors associated with acute COPD exacerbations were pollution around the house and home oxygen therapy.
