Prognostic factors for pulmonary milestones in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Prognostic factors for pulmonary milestones in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Knowledge of prognostic factors for pulmonary outcomes in DMD serves a general understanding of natural history and can help facilitate externally controlled studies and the long-term evaluation of novel therapies. This study assessed prognostic factors for time to forced vital capacity (FVC) %-predicted < 80% and time to FVC %-predicted < 50% using Cox proportional hazards analyses.
