Result Interpretation

Disease Severity Based on BODE Score:
Severity BODE Score 52-Month Mortality Rate for COPD Patients
Mild 0~2 20%
Moderate 3~4 60%
Severe 5~6 70%
Very Severe 7~10 80%

The BODE index predicts overall mortality and respiratory-related mortality in COPD patients more accurately than FEV1 alone.
