Context 1
... pathophysiological mechanisms are well studied, with a pathological cycle rapidly leading to the progression of heart failure and higher rates of hospitalization and mortality. This is illustrated in Figure 1. Regardless of the causative factors, the consequences involve variable levels of blood oxygen and unstable carbon dioxide levels, along with frequent arousals and significant fluctuations in chest pressures. ...

Purpose
Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSCs) refer to hospital encounters that could potentially be prevented with improved primary care. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) as one of the typical ACSCs, and its hospitalization is considered potentially preventable through the quality primary care. However, the literature on factors...
