What is the evidence from the study regarding long-term home oxygen therapy for advanced heart failure?
The evidence from the study regarding long-term home oxygen therapy for advanced heart failure was very low quality due to a risk of bias, imprecision due to wide confidence intervals and indirectness of the outcomes due to the long follow up period. The study was terminated early. No clinical effect was observed for the outcomes quality of life, breathlessness and the 6 minute walk test. A clinically important reduction in hospitalisations was observed. No evidence was found for the outcomes patient and carer satisfaction, change in NYHA class and unplanned hospitalisation (number of bed days).
