Abstract
The evaluation of health-related quality of life (HRQL) has gained importance in recent years. Disease-specific questionnaires are available for respiratory insufficiency, which enable the assessment of HRQL. The Severe Respiratory Insufficiency (SRI) questionnaire, which was specially developed for patients with respiratory insufficiency, is ideal for quantifying the quality of life in patients receiving home mechanical ventilation (HMV). Studies using the SRI questionnaire demonstrated that the physical functioning of patients with chronic lung diseases of various etiologies is significantly impaired, but frequently without significant impairment of psychological well-being. Therefore, severity of the disease and HRQL do not necessarily correlate with each other.Both invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation can improve quality of life. Co-morbidity, and above all advanced age, have the highest negative predictive value with regard to in-hospital mortality and weaning failure. The number of patients older than 80 years who remain dependent on invasive HMV after prolonged weaning in Germany is increasing significantly. High dependence on invasive HMV is often associated with a loss of quality of life and autonomy. Thus, ethical issues of the continued treatment of ventilated patients at the end of life are discussed increasingly.After weaning failure, the indication for invasive HMV should be critically examined and should focus on potentially severely reduced quality of life and poor prognosis, as well as the patient's wishes. If previously agreed treatment goals can no longer be achieved during the course of invasive HMV, changing the therapy goals should be discussed within the clinical team, with the patient, their relatives and, if necessary, with legal representatives.In order to avoid overtreatment and unnecessary patient suffering during invasive HMV, advanced care planning should be started as early as possible and if necessary accompanied by palliative medical measures.

Factors Associated With Change in S3-NIV Score Over Time in People With Chronic Respiratory Failure Treated With Long-Term Home Noninvasive Ventilation. Arch Bronconeumol 2024:S0300-2896(24)00165-0. [PMID: 38821776 DOI: 10.1016/j.arbres.2024.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Monitoring changes in symptoms over time during long-term nocturnal home non-invasive ventilation (NIV) using patient-reported outcome measures is crucial. This study aimed to identify factors associated with changes in the S3-NIV total score, its two domains ("respiratory symptoms" and "sleep and NIV-related side effects") and individual item responses. METHODS We conducted a retrospective, longitudinal data analysis of a cohort of adults with chronic respiratory failure treated with NIV. Data were obtained from a French homecare provider. Multivariate linear and multinomial ordinal mixed effect models were used to identify factors associated with changes in S3-NIV scores over time. RESULTS Median follow-up was 2 years for 2135 participants. Each participant completed a median of five S3-NIV questionnaires; totaling 11,359 analyzed questionnaires. Type of respiratory condition, sex, age and time since NIV initiation were associated with change in S3-NIV score over time. NIV adherence was not associated with total S3-NIV score but high adherence was associated with more severe respiratory symptoms and an improvement in sleep and NIV-related side effects during the follow-up. Intensity of pressure support was associated with a lower total S3-NIV score and more side effects. Face masks and supplemental oxygen were associated with a lower S3-NIV total score. CONCLUSION Changes in S3-NIV scores over time are associated with the individual's characteristics and NIV settings. Analysis of the two domains and individual items of the S3-NIV could increase understanding of the difficulties experienced by people on NIV.

Abstract
Home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is a treatment for chronic respiratory failure that has shown clinical and cost effectiveness in patients with underlying COPD, obesity-related respiratory failure and neuromuscular disease (NMD). By treating chronic respiratory failure with adequate adherence to HMV, improvement in patient-reported outcomes including health-related quality of life (HRQoL) have been evaluated using general and disease-specific quantitative, semi-qualitative and qualitative methods. However, the treatment response in terms of trajectory of change in HRQoL is not uniform across the restrictive and obstructive disease groups. In this review, the effect of HMV on HRQoL across the domains of symptom perception, physical wellbeing, mental wellbeing, anxiety, depression, self-efficacy and sleep quality in stable and post-acute COPD, rapidly progressive NMD (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), inherited NMD (including Duchenne muscular dystrophy) and obesity-related respiratory failure will be discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
It is fundamental to optimize and retain health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the long term in patients with home mechanical ventilation (HMV). Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the evolution of the HRQoL in patients already established on HMV across a period of 5 years and whether the HRQoL is associated with mortality.
Methods
This was a 5-year longitudinal cohort study conducted in an Outpatient Ventilation Clinic. Consecutive patients on HMV for at least 30 days responded to the Severe Respiratory Insufficiency (SRI) questionnaire at inclusion and again at 5 years.
Results
A total of 104 patients were included (male 56.7%, median age 69 [P25;P75] [61;77] years). Almost half of the patients had COPD (49.0%). Patients were on HMV for a median of 43.5 [22;85.5] months, with overall good adherence (median 8 [6;9] daily hours). Fifty-seven (54.8%) patients were alive at 5 years. In surviving patients, the only difference with statistical significance was in the attendant symptoms and sleep subscale, with patients scoring 7.1 [-4.5;25] points higher in the final questionnaire (p = 0.002). Survivors had significantly better scores in the SRI at inclusion than deceased patients (median 59.6 [49.2;71.7] vs 48.7 [38.4;63.2]; p = 0.004).
Conclusions
These results shows that HRQoL remains stable in surviving patients with HMV at five years. It also suggests that SRI can be of important prognostic value and help predict the terminal phase of the disease course in patients with long-term HMV.

Pharmacological, Nutritional, and Rehabilitative Interventions to Improve the Complex Management of Osteoporosis in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Narrative Review. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12101626.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a highly prevalent condition affecting a growing number of patients affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with crucial implications for risk of fragility fractures, hospitalization, and mortality. Several risk factors have been identified to have a role in osteoporosis development in COPD patients, including corticosteroid therapy, systemic inflammation, smoke, physical activity levels, malnutrition, and sarcopenia. In this scenario, a personalized multitarget intervention focusing on the pathological mechanisms underpinning osteoporosis is mandatory to improve bone health in these frail patients. Specifically, physical exercise, nutritional approach, dietary supplements, and smoke cessation are the cornerstone of the lifestyle approach to osteoporosis in COPD patients, improving not only bone health but also physical performance and balance. On the other hand, pharmacological treatment should be considered for both the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in patients at higher risk of fragility fractures. Despite these considerations, several barriers still affect the integration of a personalized approach to managing osteoporosis in COPD patients. However, digital innovation solutions and telemedicine might have a role in optimizing sustainable networking between hospital assistance and community settings to improve bone health and reduce sanitary costs of the long-term management of COPD patients with osteoporosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of obstructive lung disease that is characterized by poor airflow and airway inflammation. It is estimated that the global prevalence of COPD is about 13.1%. Anemia is associated with increased morbidity and hospitalization duration. In this systematic review, we investigate the association between all types of anemia and COPD progression. METHODS We systematically searched electronic databases, including Scopus, Medline/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Sciences (WOS), and Cochrane Library, using the following mesh-standardized keywords: (((anemia∗ OR anaemia∗) OR "chronic anemia disease" [Mesh] OR "CAD" OR "iron deficiency anemia" OR" IDA" OR) AND ("COPD" [Mesh] OR "chronic obstructive pulmonary disease")) until February 2022. RESULTS Overall of 11,158 studies were included. Ultimately, 59 studies were included in the analysis. The most apparent findings from the analysis were that exacerbation of COPD, increased hospitalization, and increased long-term mortality were associated with anemia. Further analysis showed that iron deficiency (ID) is a common finding in COPD and is accompanied by an increase in the systolic pulmonary artery pressure. CONCLUSION Despite the comfortable control of anemia, the absence of treatment can be life-threatening in patients with COPD. Our systematic results showed significant homogeneity between studies on the increased mortality rate in anemic COPD, increased hospitalization, and decreased quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation is increasing. Weaning units (WU) in the German network "WeanNet" are specialized in the treatment of patients needing prolonged weaning. In this study we present outcome data on the patients in our WU from 2011 to 2015. METHODS A distinction is made between the 4 outcome groups: 1. Successful weaning without mechanical ventilation, 2. Successful weaning with non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV), 3. Weaning failure with subsequent invasive ventilation and 4. Death in the WU. RESULTS In 272 patients, the following distribution within the 4 outcome groups was found: Group 1: 116 patients (42.6 %), Group 2: 52 patients (19.1 %), Group 3: 45 patients (16.5 %) and Group 4: 59 patients (21.7 %).The duration of treatment in the WU depended primarily on co-morbidities and the hemoglobin level.Despite successful weaning, the tracheostoma was completely closed in only 60.3 % of patients with continuous spontaneous breathing and 67.3 % of patients with NIV at the time of discharge from the clinic.After discharge from the WU, patients with weaning failure and subsequent invasive long-term ventilation, in contrast to patients with successful weaning, were rarely transferred to rehabilitation, but re-admitted more frequently to the clinic as emergency cases (29 %).The 1-year survival rate was 59 %. Half of the patients died in less than 2 years. CONCLUSION The majority of patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation are successfully weaned from the respirator in the WU. Nevertheless, the proportion of patients with weaning failure and subsequent invasive long-term out-of-hospital ventilation as well as the mortality rate in the WU and after discharge were high. The ethical implications of these observations are discussed in the paper.
