The relationship between the nutritional status, body-mass index of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and respiratory failure and their 1-year survival

Aim: We aimed to determine whether chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and respiratory failure patients' characteristics can be defined as additional criteria Body Mass Index (BMI), Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002), Albumin affecting the 1-year mortality.
 Material Method: One hundred eighty-sixes patients who have been hospitalized in Pulmonary Intensive Care Unit between 01.01.2019 31.12.2019 were included our study. 
 Results: The study comprised 186 63.5% of them male (n=118) 36.5% female (n=68). mortality after discharge was evaluated two groups: those died within 1 year (n=87, 46.7%) survivors' group (n=99, 53.3%). found a significant difference survivors deceased terms weight, nutrition score, number stays hospital, readmissions emergency service discharge, NRS-2002 score (p
