Development and Internal Validation of a Retrospective Prediction Model for Fungal Infections in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Background

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at an elevated risk of fungal infections, yet reliable tools for early risk stratification are lacking. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors associated with fungal infections in patients with COPD and to develop a predictive model.
