Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is an important event in the course that negatively affects patients' quality life and leads to higher socioeconomic costs. While previous studies have demonstrated a significant association between urban air pollution hospitalization for AECOPD, there lack research on impact particulate matter (PM) inflammation coagulation AECOPD inpatients. Therefore, this study investigated changes function C-reactive protein (CRP) with PM levels days preceding hospitalization.
