Factors influencing compliance with non-invasive ventilation at long-term in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1: A prospective cohort.

TLDR
Compliance with non-invasive ventilation is poor in patients with no subjective symptoms of respiratory failure, and it may be improved with appropriate education and follow-up.

Practical approach to respiratory emergencies in neurological diseases.

TL;DR: Practical recommendations for prevention, recognition, management, and treatment of respiratory emergencies in neurological diseases, mostly in teenagers and adults, according to type and severity of baseline disease are provided.

Genotype and other determinants of respiratory function in myotonic dystrophy type 1

TL;DR: Earlier and closer monitoring with routine peak cough flow determination in adults with congenital DM1, combined with weight control, may diminish the risk of respiratory complications and optimise other aspects of management.

Effect and impact of mechanical ventilation in myotonic dystrophy type 1: a prospective cohort study

TL;DR: Failure to use home ventilation as prescribed may be associated with increased mortality in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 and specific recommendations are available.

Predictors of aspiration pneumonia: how important is dysphagia?

TL;DR: Dysphagia was concluded to be an important risk for aspiration pneumonia, but generally not sufficient to cause pneumonia unless other risk factors are present as well, and a dependency upon others for feeding emerged as the dominant risk factor.

A 10-year study of mortality in a cohort of patients with myotonic dystrophy

TL;DR: Life expectancy is greatly reduced in DM patients, particularly in those with early onset of the disease and proximal muscular involvement, and the high mortality reflects an increase in death rates from respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neoplasms, and sudden deaths presumably from cardiac arrhythmias.
