Hypercapnia is regarded as a poor prognostic indicator in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but many patients hospitalized with hypercapnia associated with an acute exacerbation of COPD revert to normocapnia during recovery. We wished to determine if this reversible hypercapnia represents a distinct pattern of respiratory failure in COPD, or simply a stage in the progression to chronic hypercapnia. We therefore compared the long-term clinical progression and survival of COPD patients with reversible hypercapnic respiratory failure (defined as type 2.1) to those with normocapnic (PaCO2 < 50 mm Hg; type 1) and also to those patients with chronic hypercapnic (PaCO2 > 50 mm Hg) respiratory failure (defined as type 2.2).
