Background: Acute exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (AECOPD) lead to frequent hospitalizations and increased mortality. The PEARL score has emerged as a prognostic tool for assessing the risk of post-discharge outcomes in these patients. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the 90-day outcomes of patients admitted for AECOPD using the PEARL score. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 100 patients hospitalized for AECOPD at Maharajahs Institute of Medical Sciences. Patients were categorized into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups based on their PEARL scores. Outcomes assessed included survival, readmission, and mortality over a 90-day follow-up period. Results: The mean age of participants was 69.52 years, with 56% male. The low-risk group (0-1) had a survival rate of 79.48%, while the intermediate (2-4) and high-risk (5-9) groups demonstrated survival rates of 41.8% and 38.9%, respectively. Readmission rates were significantly higher in the intermediate (53.48%) and high-risk (50%) groups compared to the low-risk group (12.82%). The mortality rate was highest in the high-risk group (11.1%). Conclusion: The PEARL score is an effective tool for predicting 90-day outcomes in AECOPD patients, with clear implications for patient management and follow-up strategies. Early identification of high-risk patients can facilitate targeted interventions to improve outcomes and reduce readmission rates. Further research is warranted to validate these findings in larger cohorts.
