Objectives
This study estimated the impact of overlap syndrome versus COPD without OSA on transitions between three states (without/recovery from severe exacerbation, severe exacerbation and death) in patients initiated on domiciliary NIV therapy.
Conclusion
For people with COPD started on domiciliary NIV, those with overlap syndrome might benefit from NIV to a greater extent than those without OSA. This highlights the need for OSA screening in people with COPD.
