Cognitive dysfunction in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with or without Long-Term Oxygen Therapy (LTOT)

Conclusions Only LTOT allows to preserve significantly (p < 0.022) cognitive functions from the COPD-induced deterioration. This assumption is of strategic value for COPD patients who are prescribed long-term oxygen because they frequently are not aware of the cognitive risks related to their condition.
