A previous study in the Liverpool district on patients receiving long term oxygen treatment using a domiciliary oxygen concentrator showed that only 55% were both using oxygen therapy correctly and had stopped smoking. To try and identify which factors influence patient behaviour, all 55 patients in this district receiving long-term oxygen therapy for hypoxaemic chronic airflow limitation were studied. We found that those with more symptoms were more likely to comply with this therapy. The prescription of a concentrator on the advice of a hospital physician did not improve on the compliance rates attained in those patients assessed by the general practitioner alone.
先前在利物浦地区针对使用家用制氧机接受长期氧疗的患者开展的一项研究表明，只有55%的患者既正确使用了氧疗又戒烟了。为了试图确定哪些因素会影响患者行为，我们对该地区所有55名因低氧性慢性气流受限而接受长期氧疗的患者进行了研究。我们发现，症状较多的患者更有可能遵行这种治疗。根据医院医生建议开具制氧机的情况，在依从率方面并未比仅由全科医生评估的患者所达到的依从率有所提高。
