OBJECTIVE: Readmission after hospitalization for a chronic disease is a major concern of interest for health care quality. Our aim was to investigate the predictors and rates of early readmission after an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in a tertiary care hospital.
