Comorbid cardiovascular disease increased AE risk 4.138-fold (P< 0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed that irregular disease review, cardiovascular comorbidity, and mMRC grades 3– 4 were risk factors (P< 0.05). Regular review reduced AE risk, while cardiovascular disease and mMRC grades 3– 4 increased the risk 8.802-fold and 12.327-fold, respectively.Conclusion: The severity of airflow restriction, instantaneous flow during forced exhalation of 75% of the lung capacity, cardiovascular disease complexity, higher mMRC scores, and irregular participation in intervention treatment were associated with disease deterioration in patients at high risk of AECOPD. Regular participation in standardized intervention management and treatment is a protective factor against worsening events in high-risk patients with AECOPD. These results may reduce medical resource utilization and AE frequency while improving quality of life, thereby informing evidence-based COPD management strategies and optimizing chronic disease care and resource allocation.Keywords: COPD, intervention management, risk factors, regular review, acute exacerbation, high risk
