COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; BMI, body mass index; APACHE II, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II; SOFA, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scoring at intensive care unit admission; CXRqo, chest X-ray quadrant opacities; MODS, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Haemodynamic stability analysed as absence of vasopressor requirement.
