COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) |
COPD12/20/2007 |
My grandmother`s FEV1 is 30%. She was diagnosed some time ago with COPD. What is the mortality rate for someone in her condition
The mortality rate for someone with FEV130% varies greatly depending on other factors such as:
- weight
- activity level
- ability to walk
- symptoms
- and sputum production.
Without knowing more about her condition, it would be impossible to answer your question.
