Abstract
Introduction: Increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and fibrinogen among asthmatic and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients were associated with disease severity and complications.
Aim of the work: To assess the possible relationship between selected variables and hospitalization as unfavorable outcome.
Subjects and methods: 172 subjects had participated in this observational study and grouped into three groups; control, asthmatic and COPD. Blood analysis used for fibrinogen and CRP levels and pulmonary function were measured. Statistical analysis using t-test, ROC, and regression test in order to assess the predictive potential of those variables.
Results: mean of fibrinogen among COPD group (583.24 mg/dL) was significantly higher than control (207 mg/dL), (P
