Prediction of severe acute exacerbation using changes in breathing pattern of COPD patients on home noninvasive ventilation
INTRODUCTION: Acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) is associated with poor outcome. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is recommended to treat end-stage COPD. We hypothesized that changing breathing pattern of COPD patients on NIV could identify patients with severe AECOPD prior to admission. METHODS: Thi...
