The predictive value of heparin-binding protein, white blood cells, neutrophil percentage, CRP, etc. for the acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with the area under the heparin-binding protein curve, is the largest, and compared with the stable phase, the comparison of heparin-binding protein, white blood cells, and CRP is statistically significant (P < 0.05). Here, CRP is linked to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
