Abstract / Description of output

Severe hypoxemia is a major complication of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Long-term oxygen therapy is beneficial in hypoxemic COPD patients. However, the clinical and radiographic predictors of hypoxemia and the use of oxygen therapy are not well described. This study aimed to find the correlates of resting hypoxemia and the pattern of oxygen use in moderate to severe COPD patients.
