Abstract
A nationwide chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) quality improvement programme--DrCOPD--was initiated in Denmark in 2008. We examined subsequent national and regional trends in the use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and trends in mortality following NIV and invasive mechanical ventilation among patients acutely admitted with a COPD exacerbation.
