[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS NErFR0xs. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives We aim to assess the independent association of particles, after controlling for gaseous pollutants, with the risk of death among a cohort of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Residents of Barcelona, aged over 35 years, who attended emergency room services for COPD exacerbation from 1985 to 1989 and who died in the period 1990-1995 (n=2305) were selected. The analysis followed a case-crossover procedure with ambidirectional controls. Air pollution exposure (particulate matter
