| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a prevalent respiratory condition with permanent and progressively decreasing airflow limitation. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease causes more than 3 million deaths per year globally, making it the third leading cause of death globally. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among patients admitted to the Department of Medicine in a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done in the Department of Medicine of a tertiary care centre. Data from 1 January 2022 to 30 December 2022 were collected between 15 June 2023 to 30 June 2023 from the hospital records and reviewed. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee. All the patients admitted to the Department of Medicine during the study period were included in the study. The patients with incomplete medical records were excluded from the study. Convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 280 patients, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was found in 68 (24.29%) (19.27-29.31, 95% Confidence Interval) with a mean age of 70.62±10.39 years and a mean pack year of 16.72±7.67. Conclusions: The prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among patients admitted to the Department of Medicine was similar to the other studies done in similar settings. | |
