Physical Activity as a Predictor of Absence of Frailty in Subjects With Stable COPD and COPD Exacerbation.

abstract：:Exacerbations are a hallmark feature of COPD and contribute to morbidity and mortality. There is general agreement that the pharmacotherapy of COPD exacerbations includes bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and antibiotics. Strong evidence exists for the benefit of corticosteroids for exacerbations and of antibiotics in...
