The aims of this study were to investigate trends over time in underlying respiratory diseases, use of NIV, and outcomes in COPD and non-COPD patients with acute respiratory failure. METHODS: We made a retrospective analysis of data recorded prospectively from 1,113 subjects admitted between 1998 and 2012. RESULTS: Subject diagnoses were distributed as follows: COPD, n = 568 (51%); bilateral bronchiectasis, n = 113 (10%); obesity, n = 166 (15%); chronic diffuse interstitial lung disease, n = 131 (12%); restrictive pulmonary disease, n = 113 (10%); and asthma, n = 22 (2%). The proportion of subjects with bilateral bronchiectasis significantly decreased (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.865–0.951, P < .001), whereas the proportion of subjects with obesity increased (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.001–1.063, P = .049) over time. The use of NIV (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.010–1.090, P = .01) and the proportion of subjects initially treated with NIV (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.013–1.094, P = .009) increased significantly in COPD subjects only. Time trend of mortality was not significant (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.95–1.01, P = .23), whereas the severity of illness in subjects significantly increased. Transition from NIV to invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) (OR 2.05, 95% CI 1.36–3.11, P = < .001), IMV (OR 10.49, 95% CI 4.88–10.56, P < .001) and diffuse interstitial lung disease (OR 10.63, 95% CI 5.43–20.83, P < .001) were independently associated with death in the ICU. CONCLUSIONS: Over time, respiratory diseases have changed in non-COPD subjects and trends in the use and efficacy of NIV differ between COPD and non-COPD subjects. Mortality remained stable while the severity of illness in subjects increased. In COPD and non-COPD subjects, transition from NIV to IMV was associated with a poorer prognosis. ER -
