Suboptimal Inspiratory Flow Rates Are Associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and All-Cause Readmissions

Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are prescribed after hospitalization for acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). Peak inspiratory flow (PIF) affects DPI delivery. To study the impact of PIF on readmission after hospitalization for AECOPD. A retrospective analysis of hospitalized patients, enrolled in an AEC...
