As newly emerging evidence was given, we conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with the following objectives: (I) to evaluate the effect of long-term noninvasive ventilation (NIV) on posthospital chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with respiratory failure in mortality, blood gas, exacerbation frequency; (II) to distinguish different follow-up length of long-term NIV and its effect on these outcomes.
