Detailed explanation-1: -Measurement of RR on COPD Patients: Difficulties and Approaches. The RR value is one of the most important indicators of several chronic diseases including COPD [50].

Detailed explanation-2: -This is a measure of how quickly the lungs can be emptied. • FEV1/FVC: FEV1 expressed as a percentage of the FVC, gives a clinically. useful index of airflow limitation. The ratio FEV1/FVC is between 70% and 80% in normal adults; a value less than 70% indicates airflow limitation and the possibility of COPD.
Detailed explanation-3: -ICD-10 code J44. 1 for Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with (acute) exacerbation is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range-Diseases of the respiratory system .
