Abstract
Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are important events in the course of COPD, and its diagnosis, treatment and prevention are the focus of disease management. Optimizing the peri-discharge management of AECOPD will help improve care continuity, prevent recurrence of acute events in short time, and improve long-term prognosis. In recent years, the evidence on the peri-discharge period and the cluster management of AECOPD has been accumulating, and the benefit of early follow-up and management after discharge has been confirmed. By reviewing available evidence, this guideline aims to standardize discharge management and follow-up pathways for AECOPD patients. This guideline applies to physicians and nursing staff involved in the clinical practice of COPD.
