| Background Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AeCOPD) are important causes of morbidity and mortality. In this study, we analyzed procalcitonin (PCT) levels in AeCOPD and stable period of COPD in order to evaluate usage of PCT in the prediction of the severity of AeCOPD, and its value on the planing of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV). Materials and Methods In this cross sectional study (2009-2010) 118 COPD patients were enrolled, 68 of them (58%) were in acute exacerbations (case group). The others had stabile COPD and they were defined as control group. Results In case group the mean levels of PCT (0.19 ± 0.02) C-Reactive Protein (44.7 ± 5.92), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (28.4 ± 2.65), white blood cell (9.4 ± 0.43) and %neutrophils (69.9 ± 1.22) were significantly higher than controls (P = 0.0001). There was no difference between PCT levels based on … |
