Objective To explore the value of the Ottawa decision support framework in preparing treatment decisions for patients with COPD. Methods A total of 102 COPD patients admitted to our department from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the research subjects. Based on the patients birth date, 102 patients were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group using the random number table method. The control group used conventional intervention, and the observation group implemented intervention based on the Ottawa Decision Support Framework. The treatment effects before and after the intervention were compared between the two groups. Results The treatment effect of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, P<0.05. Conclusion Integrating the Ottawa decision support framework into the treatment decision-making preparation process of patients with COPD can significantly improve patients optimal treatment decisions and ensure sustainable improvement of their final treatment effects, which is worthy of promotion and application.
