My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. It would be difficult to tell because there are multiple factors that can contribute in well being. Well the BODE Index is an index used by pulmonologists to predict the mortality associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Include Emphysema and Chronic Bronchitis). This index uses various markers of the disease in order to calculate the score, and based on this score mortality can be determined or estimated.
