Abstract

A BODE index, a simple multidimensional grading system, was constructed on the basis that four factors predicted the risk of death in patients with chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD), the body-mass index (B), the degree of airflow construction(O), dyspnea(D), and exercise capacity(E). After a trial done on 207 patients, it was concluded that the BODE index is better than the previous methods at predicting the risk factors causing death in patients with COPD.
