Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical effect of modified early warning score(MEWS) combined with end-expiratory carbon dioxide(PetCO2) in predicting the risk of critical condition in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD). Methods Convenient sampling method was used to select AECOPD patients admitted to the emergency room of a class A hospital in Zhejiang Province from April 2019 to February 2021 as the study subjects. MEWS score and PetCO2 value were used to evaluate. Bayes discriminant analysis was used to evaluate the accuracy of the risk of critical condition in emergency AECOPD patients,and the prediction value of the two combined assessments on the risk of critical condition in emergency AECOPD patients was compared by receiver operator characteristic(ROC) curve. Results A total of 151 AECOPD patients were enrolled,including 66 cases(43.7%) in the critical group and 85 cases(56.3%) in the stable group. MEWS score and PetCO2 value in critical group were [7.0(7.0,9.0)] and [49.5(39.8,68.5)] mmHg,respectively,which was higher than the MEWS score [6.0(4.0,8.0)] and PetCO2 value [40.0(36.0,48.0)] mmHg in the stable group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The predictive probability(PRE_1) of MEWS score combined with PetCO2 value was 0.795[95%CI(0.722,0.856)],the sensitivity was 0.621,and the specificity was 0.835. The area under ROC curve of MEWS score,PetCO2 value and PRE_1 were compared,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Both MEWS score and PetCO2 value can be used as effective indicators to evaluate the risk of critical condition in emergency AECOPD patients,and their combined application can help emergency medical staff distinguish critically ill patients more scientifically.
