    I found the study and you must have read it wrong. Here is the correct information  taken from the actual study abstract from CHEST:  

    Mean monthly exacerbation rates during winter were 2.16-fold higher than during summer, regardless of baseline characteristics (age, sex, COPD severity, smoking status, BMI, inhaled corticosteroid use, cardiovascular comorbidity, concomitant cardiovascular medication).

    Thank you and I hope you update the article.

    Kind Regards,
