  2. asubgroup of 39 patients
  3. variables in bold have been introduced in multiple regression analysis, see text
  4. BMI body mass index; LHD left heart dysfunction; FEV1 forced expiratory volume over 1 s, FVC forced vital capacity; mIPAP-72 h mean inspiratory pressure in the first 72 h; pCO2 arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide; ns not significant
  5. t0 / t1 / t2 = before, and 1-2 h, respectively 4-6 h after the start of NIV
