Pattern of lung function decline in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: implications for timing of noninvasive ventilation
Background The course of lung function decline in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and the effect of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) on that decline are uncertain. We sought to model lung function decline, determine when NIPPV is initiated along that course, and assess its impac...
