Abstract
Hospital admissions due to exacerbations of COPD are frequent. UK studies have shown that early supported discharge (ESD) for patients with exacerbations of COPD can reduce the length of stay without adversely affecting mortality or readmission rates. However, experience of ESD in Denmark has not been reported.
