Health trajectories before initiation of non-invasive ventilation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a French nationwide database analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients often require long-term non-invasive ventilation (NIV), but there's uncertainty around existing guidelines; this study examines health patterns before initiating home NIV and compares mortality outcomes among different patient groups based on their pre-NIV health.
- Analyzing data from over 54,000 individuals with COPD between 2015 and 2019, researchers identified four distinct health trajectories, with varying initiation circumstances, comorbidities, and outcomes; notable differences in mortality were observed among the clusters.
- The findings highlight the need for improved understanding of these health patterns to address inconsistencies in NIV use and ultimately personalize treatment for COPD patients.
