A joint expert panel examined the evidence and developed recommendations. The numbers in square brackets are cross-references to the numbered sections in the accompanying background paper, "Management of Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Summary and Appraisal of Published Evidence," which is part 2 of this guideline (see pages 600-620). The guideline and background paper are based primarily on a systematic review compiled in an Agency for Healthcare Research and Policy evidence ...References1.
