Effect of Respiratory Events on Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients Treated with Long-Term Noninvasive Ventilation

Conclusion: In a group of patients with long-term NIV, undesired respiratory events during NIV are associated with lower HRQoL in several of the SRI subscales. We suggest designing interventional studies to confirm the possible relationship between HRQoL and respiratory events during long-term NIV.Respiration
