About this trial
This study aims to develop predictive models for patients with a diagnosis of COPD at discharge of an index admission on these outcomes using machine learning:
Primary outcome: Early admission
Secondary outcomes:
1. Frequent readmission 2. Composite outcome (Early + Frequent readmissions) 3. Mortality 4. Longstayers
Eligibility criteria

Discharge Diagnosis: Using the Discharge Diagnosis ICD Codes found in the Primary Diagnosis to determine if a patient has COPD
Disqualifiers
Admission diagnosis due to causes other than COPD
Trial population
Patients are discharged from 2016 -2022 from hospital for acute exacerbation of COPD

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Early Readmission
Patients were readmitted to hospital with the primary diagnosis of AECOPD\* within 30 days since the discharge date of the index admission
Secondary outcomes
Frequent Admitters
\- Patients with 3 or more admissions (Index Admission + 2 or more admissions) within 365 days from the admission date of the index admission
1-Year Mortality
\- Patients who died within 365 days from the discharge date of the index admission
Longstayers
\- Patients who had admissions(s) with a cumulative length of stay of \> 21 days within 1 year after the discharge date of the index admission
