The study is planned with Turkish Thoracic Society and Global Alliance Against Respiratory Disease-Turkey partnership and being carried out 10 centers throughout Turkey. COPD patients who are prescribed long-term oxygen therapy for hypoxemic respiratory failure and/or noninvasive ventilation for hypercapnic respiratory failure will be included in the study and will be randomized to either intervention or control arm. The intervention mainly consists of not only education about the disease and medications but also the education of the equipment and how to use it to have the best benefit. Control arm patients will receive usual care, which consists of basic education of the patient about the therapies. The primary outcome of the study is readmission in 90 days.
