Title: COMPARISON OF HIGH-DOSE VERSUS LOW-DOSE SYSTEMIC CORTICOSTEROIDS FOR ACUTE EXACERBATION OF CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE IN  NON-CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS
Authors: Hanna Condrey, Alexis Chlada, Sharon Jordan
Practice Site: Grand Strand Medical Center – Myrtle Beach, SC
Background/Purpose: This study aims to compare the outcomes of non-critically ill patients receiving high-dose versus low-dose systemic steroids for acute exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Methodology: This retrospective cohort study included 2,277 patients aged ≥ 18 years, who were admitted for acute COPD exacerbation and received at least 2 days of any dose of glucocorticoids. Patients were categorized into two groups based on their daily steroid dose: high-dose (> 40 mg prednisone equivalents per day) or low-dose (≤ 40 mg prednisone equivalents per day). The primary outcome was length of stay (LOS). Secondary outcomes included 30-day and 90-day readmission rates, as well as the incidence of hyperglycemia and hypertension during hospitalization.
