Prognosticul pacienţilor cu bronhopneumopatie obstructivă cronică în baza indicelui CODEX

Abstract

Recent research reports the usefulness of a new index: CODEX (Comorbidity Measured by Charlson Adjusted for Age, Airway Obstruction, Dyspnea and Exacerbations) with prognostic value higher than other indices versus 3-month mortality and re-trials and 1 year after dispensing hospitalized patients for of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation. This new proposed CODEX index is essentially an evolution of the BODE and BODEX indices, preserving cutoffs for dyspnea, obstruction and previous exacerbations, but replacing the body mass index with comorbidities appreciated by the age-adjusted Charlson index. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the role of CODEX in the prognosis of exacerbation risk and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The results of the studies on the CODEX index in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in in PubMed and Cochrane, database in 2007-2017. The CODEX index may be a prognostic value higher than other indices in relation to mortality and exacerbation risk in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
