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
≥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
Admission diagnosis due to causes other than COPD
