| Summary: | Goal of study: to assess the Charlson comorbidity index in those suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Materials and methods. 207 patients suffering from COPD smoking for a long period of time (the smoker index of 240 and time of smoking of 40 packs/years were enrolled into the study. SCORE risk charts were used for evaluation of cardiovascular risk. The respiratory function was evaluated by the multi-module unit of MasterLab/Jaeger type. Charlson comorbidity index was used to assess comorbidity.Results. Charlson comorbidity index made 4.49 ± 1.50 scores in the studied group, those with very high cardiovascular risk made 68.9%. The confident correlation has been found out between total cardiovascular risk and Charlson comorbidity index. Direct moderate correlation has been found out between comorbidity index and rates of packs/years. Confident correlations have been found between comorbidity index and VC (r = -0.39, p < 0.005), comorbidity index and RV (r = 0.46, p < 0.05). |
