COPD prognostic index

BODE Index Calculator

A structured calculator for the Body mass index, airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea and Exercise capacity index in stable COPD.

BODE Score 0 Not calculated

Clinical note: Use the BODE Index for clinically stable COPD patients. It is a prognostic support tool and should not replace full clinical assessment, treatment decisions, spirometry quality review or guideline-based care.
