[An analysis of the survival rate of 216 cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
The FEV1/FVC was less than 60 per cent in all of our COPD patients. Their 3-year, 5-year and 7-year survival rate was 64.7%, 49.1% and 34.1% respectively. The 7-year survival rate in FEV1 greater than 1.0L, 0.75-1.0L and less than 0.75L group was 58.1%, 40.7% and 14.1% separately. Other factors contributed to the poor prognosis of COPD were: hypoxemia, tachycardia, right ventricular hypertrophy etc.
