1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

backgroundThe use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in acute exacerbation of COPD has increased over time. However, little is known about patient factors influencing its use in routine clinical practice.

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of 723,560 hospitalizations for exacerbation of COPD at 475 hospitals between 2001 and 2011. The primary study outcome was the initial form of ventilation (NIV or invasive mechanical ventilation [IMV]). Hierarchical generalized linear models were used to examine the trends in ventilation and patient characteristics associated with receipt of NIV.

resultsAfter adjusting for patient and hospital characteristics, initial NIV increased by 15.1% yearly (from 5.9% to 14.8%), and initial IMV declined by 3.2% yearly (from 8.7% to 5.9%); annual exposure to any form of mechanical ventilation increased by 4.4% (from 14.1% to 20.3%). Among case subjects treated with ventilation, those aged ≥ 85 years had a 22% higher odds of receiving NIV compared with those aged < 65 years, while blacks (OR, 0.86) and Hispanics (OR, 0.91) were less likely to be treated with NIV than were whites. Cases with a high burden of comorbidities and those with concomitant pneumonia had high rates of NIV failure and were more likely to receive initial IMV. Use of NIV increased at a faster rate among the admissions of the oldest patients relative to the youngest.

conclusionsThe use of NIV for COPD exacerbations has increased steadily, whereas IMV use has declined. Several patient factors, including age, race, and comorbidities, influenced the receipt of NIV. Further research is needed to identify the factors driving these patterns.
