What is P.17 Importance of routine pulmonary check-up prior to ventilatory support in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy about?

To investigate the effect of regular monitoring of pulmonary function and ventilatory status on the initiation of non-invasive ventilation between patients who were routinely monitored before receiving non-invasive ventilation and those who were not. This retrospective cohort study included patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who first received non-invasive ventilation between 2010 and 2019. The patients were assigned to either the regular-follow-up group or the non-regular-follow-up group, according to their follow-up status, before initiating non-invasive ventilation. We compared the number of emergent cases, the results of nocturnal ventilatory monitoring, and the pulmonary function of each group at initial ventilatory support. In total, 73 patients were enrolled in the regular-follow-up group and 47 patients in the non-regular-follow-up group. There were significantly more emergency cases due to respiratory insufficiency in the non-regular-follow-up group (12/47, 25.5%) than in the regular-follow-up group (3/73, 4.1%). At the time of initial ventilatory support, hypoventilatory symptoms were more common and relatively severe in the non-regular-follow-up group (37/47, 78.7
