In this article, we study the relationship between solutions and their arbitrary-order derivatives of the higher order non-homogeneous linear differential equation
$ \begin{equation*} f^{(k)}+A_{k-1}(z)f^{(k-1)}+\cdots+A_{1}(z)f'+A_{0}(z)f = F(z) \end{equation*} $
in the unit disc $ \bigtriangleup $ with analytic or meromorphic coefficients of finite $ [p, q] $-order. We obtain some oscillation theorems for $ f^{(j)}(z)-\varphi(z) $, where $ f $ is a solution and $ \varphi(z) $ is a small function.
