To determine the long term survival in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) following spinal surgery and nocturnal ventilation.
A retrospective review of 100 consecutive patients born between 1970 and 1990 was conducted.
Forty-seven patients had surgical spinal fusion, 27 were subsequently ventilated. Fourteen patients received ventilation only. Thirty-nine patients received neither intervention. The age at which ventilation was required correlated with the age at which ambulation was lost. Those who walked for longer were less likely to require spinal surgery. Mean vital capacity dropped from 1.4 to 1.13 L 1 year post-operatively. Patients having both spinal surgery and ventilation had a median survival of 30 years whereas those who were only ventilated survived to 22.2 years.
Nocturnal ventilation improves survival in DMD. Spinal surgery does not increase forced vital capacity but in combination with nocturnal ventilation further improves median survival to 30 years.
确定杜氏肌营养不良症(DMD)患者在接受脊柱手术和夜间通气后的长期生存率。
对1970年至1990年间出生的100例连续患者进行回顾性研究。
47例患者接受了脊柱融合手术,其中27例随后接受了通气治疗。14例患者仅接受了通气治疗。39例患者未接受任何干预。需要通气的年龄与失去行走能力的年龄相关。行走时间较长的患者接受脊柱手术的可能性较小。术后1年,平均肺活量从1.4升降至1.13升。接受脊柱手术和通气治疗的患者中位生存期为30年,而仅接受通气治疗的患者生存期为22.2年。
夜间通气可提高DMD患者的生存率。脊柱手术不会增加用力肺活量,但与夜间通气相结合可进一步将中位生存期提高至3年。
