description Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) leads to disability, being long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) fundamental in final stages. It is important to assess its impact on patient's daily life.Objectives: To describe factors that determine the quality of life in COPD patients with LTOT, taking into account demographic variables: age and sex, Physiological: POST BD FEV1, BMI, hours of use of OCD and SpO2, Psychological: Dyspnea: St. George's questionnaire (SGRQ ) and Hospital Anxiety and depression Scale .Material and Methods: Observational, cross. 26 patients were included without associated comorbidities.Results: 73.07% male, age: 61.73 ± 1.48 years, the average hours of use of LTOT was equal to 18.88 ± 0.77 hours, the average post-BD FEV 1 was 34.23 ± 2.63%. More anxiety and depression were observed among females. Age had an inverse correlation with the lung function but it had positive lineal correlation with the perception of dyspnea. There was less perception of dyspnea with more hours of use of LTOT. Statistical significance was achieved for the perception of dyspnea and post BD FEV1 as well as with perception of dyspnea and anxiety /depression (p <0.05).Conclusions: Anxiety and depression are highly prevalent symptoms in patients with severe COPD that also use LTOT, being higher in women. We stress the importance of using validated scales of quality of life and mental health status, to assess the overall impact of disease and optimize the treatment.

La Enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) conduce a la incapacidad, siendo la oxigenoterapia crónica domiciliaria (OCD) fundamental en estadíos finales. Es importante valorar su repercusión sobre la vida diaria del paciente.Objetivos: Describir factores que determinan la calidad de vida en pacientes EPOC con OCD, relacionando variables demográficas: edad y sexo, Fisiológicas: FEV1 POST BD, IMC, horas de uso de OCD y SpO2, Psicológicas: Disnea: cuestionario St. George’s (SGRQ) y Escala hospitalaria de ansiedad y depresión.Material y Métodos: Diseño observacional, transversal. Se incluyeron 26 pacientes, sin comorbilidades asociadas.Resultados: 73,07% varones, edad: 61,73 ± 1,48 años, el promedio de horas de uso de OCD correspondió a 18.88 ± 0.77 horas, el FEV1 post BD medio fue 34.23 ± 2.63%. En el sexo femenino se observó mayor ansiedad y depresión. La edad tuvo correlación inversa con función pulmonar; en cambio arrojó correlación lineal positiva con percepción de disnea. Con mayor cantidad de horas de uso de OCD hubo menos percepción de disnea. Se alcanzó la significancia estadística para percepción de disnea y FEV1 post BD así como también con percepción de disnea y ansiedad/depresión (p < 0.05).Conclusiones: Ansiedad y depresión son síntomas altamente prevalentes en pacientes con EPOC severa que además utilizan OCD, siendo mayor en la mujer. Destacamos la importancia de la utilización de escalas validadas de calidad de vida y estado de salud mental, para valorar el impacto global de la enfermedad y optimizar el tratamiento.
