Home noninvasive ventilation use in patients hospitalized with COPD

INTRODUCTION: The study objective was to estimate the prevalence of chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure (CHRF) and home noninvasive ventilation (NIV) use in a high-risk population, individuals with a history of at least one COPD-related hospitalizations.

METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed electronic medical record data of patients with at least one COPD-related hospitalization between October 1, 2011, and September 30, 2017, to the Iowa City VA Medical Center. We excluded individuals with no obstructive ventilatory defect.

RESULTS: Of 186 patients, the overall prevalence of compensated hypercapnic respiratory failure (CompHRF), defined as PaCO2  > 45 mmHg with a pH = 7.35-7.45, was 52.7%, while the overall prevalence of home NIV was 4.3%. The prevalence of CompHRF was 43.6% and home NIV was 1.8% in those with one COPD-related hospitalization. Among those with ≥4 COPD-related hospitalizations, the prevalence of CompHRF was 77.8% (14 of 18), and home NIV was 11.1% (2 of 18).

CONCLUSION: Approximately half of individuals with at least one COPD-related hospitalization have CompHRF, but only 8.2% of those use home NIV. Future studies should estimate CHRF rates and the degree of underutilization of home NIV in larger multicenter samples.
