Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent condition often leading to chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure in its advanced stages. Home noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (Home-NIPPV) has emerged as a key therapeutic strategy for managing stable hypercapnic COPD patients.

Introduction

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by persistent airflow obstruction, recurrent exacerbations, and declining lung function, placing a substantial burden on healthcare systems [1].

Methods

In stable hypercapnic COPD patients, which interventions are effective at improving adherence/compliance with Home-NIPPV?

Discussion

Recent research has focused on identifying barriers influencing adherence/compliance to Home-NIPPV in stable hypercapnic COPD patients [27,28]. The aim of this systematic review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the effectiveness of interventions targeting patient-related, device-related, and support service-related factors.
