Changes in Spirometry Over Time as a Prognostic Marker in Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) causes a progressive impairment of muscle function leading to hypercapnic respiratory failure. Most studies of respiratory function in DMD have been cross-sectional rather than longitudinal, and these data have not been related to survival. We retrospectively studie...
