Interventions to improve adherence/compliance to home noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in stable hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients: A systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

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, improving survival rates, and enhancing quality of life. Despite these benefits, patient adherence/compliance to Home-NIPPV remains a significant challenge, hindered by various barriers. The present paper is a protocol of a systematic review that aims to identify and evaluate interventions designed to improve adherence/compliance to Home-NIPPV in stable hypercapnic COPD patients.

Methods

The protocol is developed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic
