Brief Summary

The hypothesis of this study is that any of 3 modalities of home non- invasive ventilation (NIV) compared to 'no NIV' (=hospital NIV) will reduce re-admission to hospital or death in COPD patients who remain persistently hypercapnic following an exacerbation requiring NIV.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * 1\) Patients with COPD, GOLD C or D and Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)\<65%; * 2\) AHRF (pH\<7,35 and PaCO2≥45mm Hg (≥6kPa) treated more than 24h with Ventilation (non-invasive or invasive); * 3\) 48h to 2 weeks with pH\>7.35, and PaCO2\>45 (\>6kPa) after NIV withdrawal, during daytime at rest without oxygen or ventilatory support (or with O2 if patients are not able to avoid O2 with immediate desaturation below 80%). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patient treated with chronic NIV or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, with ongoing treatment; 2.
