Abstract
Highlights
•
In this study, we observed that frailty is highly prevalent among COPD patients, is associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). .
•
Except for naming, COPD patients with frailty had worse cognition in attention, language, abstraction, delayed recall, orientation, and visuospatial executive domains.
•
Frailty is common among COPD patients and has been associated with exacerbated frequency; therefore, identifying frailty can assist in recognizing patients and selecting the optimal action plan for improved clinical outcomes.
