![Noteworthy comment: This study aimed to build a predictive model of unplanned readmissions within 30 days of an initial COPD-caused hospitalization. Reducing avoidable hospital readmissions is a quality improvement and cost containment strategy that receives much attention from both public and private payers in all countries.](assets/img/article_icons/noteworthy.png)

![Noteworthy Comment: Few studies have evaluated the impact of pneumonia on healthcare resource utilization and costs in this population. This study demonstrated elevated healthcare resource use and costs in patients with COPD after acquiring pneumonia compared to those without pneumonia. By reducing the risk of pneumonia in patients with COPD wherever possible, significant benefits to patients with COPD and the resulting savings to our healthcare system can be realized.](assets/img/article_icons/noteworthy.png)
