The aims of our study were to identify the etiology of respiratory infections in patients hospitalized for AE-COPD using different diagnostic tests and to evaluate the usefulness of the clinical and analytical parameters of the diagnostic process. Identification was made based on the respiratory infection and dyspnea admission diagnoses from the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) 19,20 (491, 492, 493, 496, 518.81, 464, 465, 466, 519.11, 786 .0), excluding the patients who had a known cause of respiratory failure that was different from infectious exacerbation (heart failure, pulmonary thromboembolism, pneumonia).	./cache/cord-328829-yywxmioq.txt	./txt/cord-328829-yywxmioq.txt
