Existing prediction models for mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients have not yet been validated in primary care, which is where the majority of patients receive care.
Our aim was to validate the ADO (age, dyspnoea, airflow obstruction) index as a predictor of 2-year mortality in 2 general practice-based COPD cohorts.
Six hundred and forty-six patients with COPD with GOLD (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease) stages I-IV were enrolled by their general practitioners and followed for 2 years. The ADO regression equation was used to predict a 2-year risk of all-cause mortality in each patient and this risk was compared with the observed 2-year mortality. Discrimination and calibration were assessed as well as the strength of association between the 15-point ADO score and the observed 2-year all-cause mortality.
Fifty-two (8.1%) patients died during the 2-year follow-up period. Discrimination with the ADO index was excellent with an area under the curve of 0.78 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.71-0.84]. Overall, the predicted and observed risks matched well and visual inspection revealed no important differences between them across 10 risk classes (p = 0.68). The odds ratio for death per point increase according to the ADO index was 1.50 (95% CI 1.31-1.71).
The ADO index showed excellent prediction properties in an out-of-population validation carried out in COPD patients from primary care settings.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者现有死亡率预测模型尚未在大多数患者接受治疗的初级保健机构中得到验证。
我们的目的是在两个基于全科医疗的COPD队列中验证ADO(年龄、呼吸困难、气流受限)指数作为2年死亡率预测指标的有效性。
646例GOLD(慢性阻塞性肺疾病全球倡议组织)I-IV期COPD患者由其全科医生纳入研究并随访2年。使用ADO回归方程预测每位患者的2年全因死亡风险,并将此风险与观察到的2年死亡率进行比较。评估了辨别力和校准情况,以及15分ADO评分与观察到的2年全因死亡率之间的关联强度。
在2年随访期内,52例(8.1%)患者死亡。ADO指数的辨别力极佳,曲线下面积为0.78[95%置信区间(CI)0.71-0.84]。总体而言,预测风险与观察到的风险匹配良好,直观检查显示在10个风险类别中两者之间无显著差异(p = 0.68)。根据ADO指数,每增加1分死亡的比值比为1.50(95%CI 1.31-1.71)。
在对来自初级保健机构的COPD患者进行的外部人群验证中,ADO指数显示出优异的预测性能。
