METHOD FOR PREDICTING SURVIVAL IN CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A61B5/08 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to internal medicine and pulmonology, and can be used in assessing the prognosis of survival in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The forced expiratory volume is measured in 1 second (FEV_1in). Then the forced expiratory volume is re-determined in 1 second (FEV_1rep) after 3 years. Calculate the decrease in the FEV₁ according to the formula: FEV_1in - FEV_1rep. With a decrease in FEV₁ over 3 years for each percentage, an increase in the risk of death over 15 years is predicted by 3.9 percent.

EFFECT: invention increases accuracy of predicting survival in COPD with the exclusion of invasive intervention by assessing the totality of the most significant indicators.
