1. A monitoring system comprising:
at least one sensor configured to measure at least one respiratory parameter;
a flow generator configured to generate a flow of breathable gas at a pressure above atmospheric pressure at a user interface; and
a controller, communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor and the flow generator, the controller being configured to:
perform an evaluation of the at least one respiratory parameter during a hospitalization period;
generate for display an indicator based on the performed evaluation of the at least one respiratory parameter, the indicator providing a scaled indication of greater or lesser risk that a hospitalized patient using the flow generator will experience a future relapse after being released from a hospital; and
control the flow generator based on the performed evaluation of the at least one respiratory parameter.
