Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disorder that leads to chronic respiratory insufficiency and failure. Use of home noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been linked to improved outcomes including reduced mortality. Despite the importance of NIV, factors promoting optimal NIV usage and determinants of nonadherence have not been rigorously examined. Moreover, given that respiratory issues in DMD span between childhood and adulthood, examination across a broad age group is needed. The objectives of this study were to (1) evaluate NIV usage across a broad spectrum of patients with DMD, including both children and adults, and (2) identify biological and socioeconomic determinants of NIV usage and NIV nonadherence.
