Predicting Adverse Outcomes Using Machine Learning of COPD Patients in Hong Kong

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

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

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - ≥40 years - Patients are discharged from 2016 -2022 - Discharge Diagnosis: Using the Discharge Diagnosis ICD Codes found in the Primary Diagnosis to determine if a patient has COPD - Validated against Spirometry results (for patient with a spirometry reading): Spirometry reading taken from anytime point before. Patient should have Post FEV1/FVC ratio of \< 0.7 in any one of the spirometry readings. If Post FEV1/FVC is not available, we will check if patients have a Pre FEV1/FVC value, and will also include patients with Pre FEV1/FVC ratio of \< 0.7 in any one of the spirometry readings. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Admission diagnosis due to causes other than COPD Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
