Predicts mortality better than FEV₁ alone.
When to use
Prognosis and management discussions in COPD.
How it works
Points for BMI, airflow Obstruction (FEV₁% predicted), Dyspnoea (mMRC) and Exercise (6-minute walk). Total 0–10; higher predicts worse survival.
Key points
- Predicts mortality better than FEV₁ alone.
- Can inform rehabilitation and transplant referral.
- Reassess after interventions.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| BMI | > 21 (0) |
|---|---|
| FEV₁ (% predicted) | 50–64% (1) |
| mMRC dyspnoea | 2 (1) |
| 6-minute walk distance | 250–349 m (1) |
→BODE3/10
- 4-year survival (approx.)：~67%
| BMI | > 21 (0) |
|---|---|
| FEV₁ (% predicted) | ≥ 65% (0) |
| mMRC dyspnoea | 0–1 (0) |
| 6-minute walk distance | ≥ 350 m (0) |
→BODE0/10
- 4-year survival (approx.)：~80% 4-year survival

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What are the limits and cautions when using BODE Index (COPD Prognosis)?
- For licensed clinicians and clinical researchers. Interpret results with history, investigations and local protocols; not a diagnosis or prescription, and not a substitute for multidisciplinary decision-making or local guidelines.
- Does BODE Index (COPD Prognosis) upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is BODE Index (COPD Prognosis) calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: BMI > 21 (0), FEV₁ (% predicted) 50–64% (1), mMRC dyspnoea 2 (1), 6-minute walk distance 250–349 m (1) → Result: BODE 3 /10（4-year survival (approx.): ~67%） Inputs: BMI > 21 (0), FEV₁ (% predicted) ≥ 65% (0), mMRC dyspnoea 0–1 (0), 6-minute walk distance ≥ 350 m (0) → Result: BODE 0 /10（4-year survival (approx.): ~80% 4-year survival）
