Talk:Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Merge
We should merge Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and Acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis as they are basically the same things per the literature. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:03, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * With no objections in the past 3 years, I have completed this merge. LT910001 (talk) 23:17, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Plan to edit wikipedia page
Hello,

I have not previously edited a wikipedia page, but was planning on doing so for the acute exacerbations of COPD page.

I am a respiratory physician currently doing research in exacerbations of COPD.

One of the things that I plan to add is the "DECAF score" which is risk-stratification score which can be used in patients admitted to hospital with an AECOPD. This has been published in Thorax (a leading respiratory journal) in 2012 (http://thorax.bmj.com/content/early/2012/08/14/thoraxjnl-2012-202103.full) and 2016 (http://thorax.bmj.com/content/71/2/133.abstract). I am one the authors for the second study, so their is a potential conflict of interest. The DECAF score has been recommended for use by the British Thoracic Society in the 2015 UK COPD national audit report (https://www.brit-thoracic.org.uk/audit-and-quality-improvement/national-copd-audit-programme/), so I am confident that my suggestion to include it does not respresent a conflict of interests as it is supported by an independent, and highly respected organisation.

There are other changes that I am happy to make too regarding diagnosis, treatment, etc.

Advice and encouragement is welcome, as this will be my first edit!
