Prognostic efficacy of non-invasive ventilation in patients with overlap syndrome: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and obstructive sleep apnea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Limited evidence exists regarding the effects of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) on the prognosis of patients with concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), also known as overlap syndrome (OS). This study aimed to assess whether NIV alongside standard care could improve the prognosis of this cohort.

Methods

We retrospectively collected data from 229 patients with severe OS treated in Beijing Anzhen Hospital between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2020, with follow-up until December 1, 2023. All patients were recommended usual care and NIV and were subsequently divided into non-NIV (usual care only) and NIV groups (usual care plus NIV) per their willingness and adherence to NIV. Endpoints included all-cause and acute
