The assessment of severity level in patient with acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) at early admission is important to determine the risk of in-hospital mortality, to decide hospitalization or requirement of Intensive Care Unit setting and further management. Dyspnea, Eosinopenia, Consolidation, Acidaemia, Atrial Fibrillation (DECAF) score, and elevated BUN. Altered mental status, pulse 109 beats/min, age >65 years (BAP-65) can be used as prognostic tools. The aim of this study was to investigate the comparison between DECAF score and BAP-65 score in predicting 30 days-mortality in AECOPD patients. This was a cohort study, subjects were AECOPD patients in emergency unit and inpatient in H. Adam Malik General Hospital, from February to June 2013. DECAF score and BAP-65 score were assessed. We calculated sensitivity and specificity of both scores to compare the stronger predictor. Fourty subjects were recruited, mean (±SD) age was 61.07±12.42 years. Nine subjects (23%) died during the study. This study presented significant result with p=0,003 for DECAF score and p=0,0026 for BAP-65 score, using chi-square test. Sensitivity and specificity of DECAF score and BAP-65 score were 100% and 16%, 100% and 39%, respectively. In conclusion, DECAF score and BAP-65 score have correlations with 30-days mortality in AECOPD patients. High sensitivity and low specificity prevent the use of these scores as prognostic tools. A larger study is required to determine the accuracy on mortality.
