Background And Objective: When home non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is initiated, five goals need to be achieved: a daily use >4 h/day, an improvement in gas exchange, health-related quality of life (HRQL) and sleep quality without side effects. Our aim was to assess how frequently these five goals were reached and the factors predictive of achievement.
Methods: We conducted a monocentric cohort study that included patients electively established on home NIV over 2 years.
