Abstract

Objective(s): To assess the QUALITY OF CARE in patient with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) through comparison of provided care with recommendations of an evidencebased guideline.Methods: The index of QUALITY OF CARE (IQC) was defined as the percent of applicable grade A, B or C recommendations of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guideline for each case. Then we made a data check list for patients' information according to guideline. A list of cases with COPD exacerbation who admitted in Rasool Akram or Firoozgar academic hospitals was provided and 101 cases were randomly selected.One of the investigators read all clinical records and compared the provided care with recommendations of the guideline. The IQC was estimated for all cases and compared in different subgroups.Results: The average IQC was 88.4% (standard deviation: 14.8%). Considering applicable recommendations for each case, concordance rate between practices and recommendations was 90.7% for grade A (95%CI: 87.8-93.6%), 84.9% for grade B (95%CI: 75.3-94.5%) and 79.1% for grade C (95%CI: 71.5- 86.7%). The IQC was statistically higher in patients who discharged alive compared to deceased cases (87.4 vs.74.6, P<0.05).Conclusion: Considering greater IQC in patients who were discharged alive, it seems using evidence-based guidelines has better outcomes for patient with COPD exacerbation; using such guidelines seems to be logical in academic hospitals.
