    Snippet: During the year 2009, a total of 967,241 discharges from Catalonian hospitals were recorded, of which 18,548 (1.9%) had acute exacerbation of COPD as the main diagnosis. The average age of patients hospitalized for COPD was 74.5±11.4 years, with 77.3% being male and the average hospital stay being 7.1±6.6 days. Of these admissions, 9,804 (53.2%) were in Barcelona and its metropolitan area. The number of weekly hospitalizations ranged between 89.....
    Document: During the year 2009, a total of 967,241 discharges from Catalonian hospitals were recorded, of which 18,548 (1.9%) had acute exacerbation of COPD as the main diagnosis. The average age of patients hospitalized for COPD was 74.5±11.4 years, with 77.3% being male and the average hospital stay being 7.1±6.6 days. Of these admissions, 9,804 (53.2%) were in Barcelona and its metropolitan area. The number of weekly hospitalizations ranged between 89 and 459, with an average of 188.5±80.2 and a median of 174. Again, these patients were predominantly male (75.4%) with a mean age of 74.9±10.5 years and an average stay of 6.5±6.1 days. Differences in sex, age, and length of stay between total COPD admissions in Catalonia and the study sample were statistically significant (all P0.001) but clinically irrelevant except for the average length of stay.
