Summary: The authors submit a cross-sectional analysis of out-patient pharmacotherapy of chronic obstruc-
tive lung disease in 138 patients where long-term home oxygen therapy was indicated. To this
group of patients no inhalatory bronchodilatating drugs were administered in 19.6 % of the pati-
ents! The authors provide evidence of a non-significant better survival of patients who used
inhalatory bronchodilatating drugs. From the mentioned group during the follow up period 41
(29.7 %) died with a mean survival of 16.5 ± 11.9 (0 - 39) months. Based on the mentioned results
the authors draw attention to the relatively late indication of long-term home oxygen therapy and
also to the fact that pharmacotherapy of patients with chronic obsructive lung disease indicated
for long-term home oxygen therapy is not fully exploited and its optimalization could lead to
better patient survival.
