    COPD patients are generally more ill than asthmatics with overall higher hospitalizations and mortality. A COPD exacerbation is a sustained worsening of the patient's condition, from the stable state and beyond normal day-to-day variations, that is acute in onset. COPD exacerbations are associated w
