Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of non-invasive ventilation on survival and quality of life in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a randomised controlled trial.
TL;DR: In patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis without severe bulbar dysfunction, NIV improves survival with maintenance of, and improvement in, quality of life and the survival benefit from NIV in this group is much greater than that from currently available neuroprotective therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Among patients with persistent hypercapnia following an acute exacerbation of COPD, adding home noninvasive ventilation to home oxygen therapy prolonged the time to readmission or death within 12 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
The DECAF Score: predicting hospital mortality in exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TL;DR: The DECAF Score is a simple yet effective predictor of mortality in patients hospitalised with an exacerbation of COPD and has the potential to help clinicians more accurately predict prognosis, and triage place and level of care to improve outcome in this common condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive ventilation in ALS: Indications and effect on quality of life
TL;DR: Noninvasive ventilation use was associated with improved QoL and survival, and subjects with orthopnea and preserved bulbar function showed the largest benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep and breathing in neuromuscular disease
Stephen Bourke,Grant Gibson +1 more
TL;DR: Noninvasive ventilation improves sleep quality and breathing in subjects with respiratory muscle weakness, however, the optimal criteria for initiation of ventilation and its role in rapidly progressive neuromuscular diseases are unclear.
