Abstract

To compare the BODE index's severity to the degree of pulmonary hypertension. To forecast future admissions for respiratory conditions depending on the severity of the illness as determined by the BODE index and pulmonary hypertension. Methods: Observational research including 120 patients was conducted at Department of General Medicine, ACSR Government Medical College, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India from March 2023 to August 2023, after gaining approval from the institutional ethics committee. Result: Out of the 40 patients in our research with mild pulmonary hypertension, one was admitted. 21 patients with moderate pulmonary hypertension underwent three, four, or nine admissions: once, twice, or three times.Six of the eleven patients who had significant pulmonary hypertension were hospitalised. Given that the p value is 0.001, this was statistically very significant. The rate of readmission also increased as the pulmonary hypertension did. In our investigation, we discovered that the mean Bode decreased after intervention, going from 4.2 to 3.51. However, despite interventions, the mean TRPG grew. Conclusion: Pulmonary hypertension and COPD severity are correlated with BODE score. Patients with COPD who have a high BODE score had a lower readmission rate. With the right therapeutic intervention and rehabilitative methods, the BODE score can be raised.
