A prospective study of quality of life in ALS patients treated with noninvasive ventilation
Abstract
Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation prolongs survival in ALS but its effect on quality of life is unknown. The authors prospectively studied quality of life using the SF-36 questionnaire in a cohort of 16 ventilated patients with ALS. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation improved scores in the "Vitality" domain by as much as 25%, for periods of up to 15 months, despite disease progression. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation did not cause reduced quality of life, as any fall in scores in the ventilated group were comparable to those seen in a control group. In conclusion, noninvasive positive pressure ventilation enhances quality of life when used to treat sleep-disordered breathing in patients with ALS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
