Authors' recommendations: standard treatment for hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital. The present analysis suggests that NIV may slightly reduce mortality, may improve HRQoL and dyspnoea, and may result in little or no difference in sleep efficiency, hospitalisation, exacerbations and 6MWT (GRADE++00). For an estimated 23 patients the total change in cost by using NIV in hypercapnic COPD patients is estimated to 896,000 SEK during 2016. There are no serious side effects of the treatment.
