The Association Between Serum Magnesium Levels And Acute Exacerbation In Patients Of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Abstract

Background: Magnesium plays an important role in bronchodilation and has anti-inflammatory 
effects. Hypomagnesaemia has been associated with increased risk of acute exacerbations in 
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship 
between serum magnesium levels and clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized for acute 
exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD).
