Özet

Introduction: The goals of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment are to relieve dyspnea, increase exercise capacity, and improve quality of life. The relation of exercise capacity, dyspnea level, and quality of life with long-term mortality is unclear. Aim of the study was to assess the effect of exercise capacity, dyspnea level and quality of life on long-term mortality risk in patients with COPD.
