The aim of this study was to develop and validate a new method: a classification and regression tree (CART) based on easily accessible measures to predict mortality in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).This was a prospective study of two independent prospective cohorts: a derivation cohort with 611 recruited patients and a validation cohort with 348 patients, all followed for 5 yrs. CART analysis was used to predict 5-yr mortality risk using the following covariates from the derivation cohort: age, % predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), dyspnoea, physical activity, general health and number of hospital admissions for COPD exacerbations in the previous 2 yrs.Age (>= 75 or 75 yrs of age with higher levels of dyspnoea and FEV1
