BODE index for predicting death in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease*
| Outcomes | Hazard ratio (95% CI)† | p Value |
|---|---|---|
| *BODE = body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnoea, and exercise capacity. | ||
| †The hazard ratio is for each 1 point increase in the BODE score. | ||
| Death from all causes | 1.34 (1.26 to 1.42) | <0.001 |
| Death from respiratory causes | 1.62 (1.48 to 1.77) | <0.001 |
