Co-Morbidity Patterns Identified Using Latent Class Analysis of Medications Predict All-Cause Mortality Independent of Other Known Risk Factors: The COPDGene® Study

摘要

Medication patterns include all medications in an individual’s clinical profile. We aimed to identify chronic co-morbidity treatment patterns through medication use among COPDGene participants and determine whether these patterns were associated with mortality, acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and quality of life.
