Objective  To systematically evaluate the efficacy of home noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (HNPPV) on patients with severe stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in China. Methods  Systematic literature search was performed in Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, WanFang Data, VIP Database, Chinese National knowledge Infrastructure databases from inception to January 2018. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reported comparison of the efficacy of HNPPV on patients with severe stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were included. All related data were extracted. Meta-analysis was conducted using the statistical software RevMan 5.3 on the basis of strict quality evaluation. Results  A total of 767 patients from 14 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The combined results showed that, compared with the control group, HNPPV could significantly reduce the mortality (relative risk 0.51, 95%CI 0.33 – 0.78, P=0.002) and PaCO2 [weighted mean difference (MD) –10.78, 95%CI –13.17 – –8.39, P<0.000 01] of patients, improve the levels of PaO2 (MD 7.84, 95%CI 5.81 – 9.87, P<0.000 01), FEV1 (MD 0.13, 95%CI 0.08 – 0.18, P<0.000 01), and the quality of life (MD –6.27, 95% CI –9.04 – –3.51, P<0.000 01). Conclusion  HNPPV can reduce the mortality of patients, improve the gas exchange, pulmonary function and the quality of life, but more large sample, high-quality, and multicenter RCT studies are needed.
