There is a worsening trend in the mean GAD-7 (p=0.003) and PHQ-9 score (p=0.015) in patients over 6\u2009months while on domiciliary oxygen. HRQOL is poor in all the domains at baseline, and there is a progressive worsening during follow-up while on oxygen.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The worsening trend in anxiety and depression in patients after initiating domiciliary oxygen may be related to social isolation, restricted mobility, economic issues, addictions and frequency of exacerbations.
