The aim of this review is to give new insights on the effects, and consequently, on the prescription criteria of long-term oxygen therapy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), on the basis of the evidence accumulated in the recent past. Since the demonstration of the beneficial effect on survival offered by long-term oxygen therapy in severely hypoxemic COPD patients, further potential endpoints of this treatment in such subjects have been progressively evaluated. At present, knowledge of the favorable biochemical effects, especially on the skeletal muscles and brain tissue, and the widespread appreciation of the positive impact on the health-related quality of life parameters provided by long-term oxygen therapy in COPD patients should prompt us to reassess its indications in these subjects.
