Response
We recommend home visits by a respir. nurse for those patients who needed transportation by an ambulance if they should be seen in the outpatient clinic. We have no data on the quality of follow up, but it seems obvious that hospitals who had low frenquency of follow up have a problem.

What is the practical consequence of your observation ? Did you check if home oxygen therapy was prescribed according to recommandation in both types of hospitals ?
