Risk factors for respiratory failure of motor neuron disease in a multiracial Asian population

Highlights • We disclosed for the first time that the need of feeding support is significantly associated with assisted ventilation. • Chinese MND patients may be more inclined to require respiratory support. • Simultaneous degeneration of the bulbar and diaphragmatic muscles are often encountered i...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We disclosed for the first time that the need of feeding support is significantly associated with assisted ventilation. • Chinese MND patients may be more inclined to require respiratory support. • Simultaneous degeneration of the bulbar and diaphragmatic muscles are often encountered in the late stages of Asian ALS patients.
