The investigators examine the 15-year mortality after an admission for an exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD).
Several prognostic factors will be examined. Cause of death will be examined. Data will be recruited from medical records and calling general practitioners to find out if a patient is still alive. Statistical analysis will be done with Kaplan Meier, Cox proportional hazards and Chi square
