Dreher - Figure 27
Long-term Survival Post NIV
It can be argued that the data in the previous Figure[13] are over 10 years old. However, as shown in this Figure, data for long-term survival for COPD patients receiving NIV for acute respiratory failure published in 2013[14] again showed that the mortality rate after 1 year is approximately 50%.
