Prevalence of Nocturnal Hypoventilation in Neuromuscular Diseases According to Different Definitions

Completed
Conditions
Neuromuscular Disease
Registration Number
NCT02356666
Lead Sponsor
Centre d'Investigation Clinique et Technologique 805
Brief Summary

Different definitions of nocturnal hypoventilation are used in the recent literature. The investigators aimed to compare the prevalence of nocturnal hypoventilation in a neuromuscular disease's population according to different definitions issued from the literature.

Detailed Description

Different definitions of nocturnal hypoventilation are used in the recent literature. Basing on retrospective data review, we aimed to compare the prevalence of nocturnal hypoventilation in the cohort of neuromuscular disease's patients followed at our reference center, according to different definitions issued from the literature.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Differences in the prevalence of nocturnal hypoventilation according to different previously proposed definitionsBaseline (Day 1)

The prevalence of nocturnal hypoventilation (percentage of patients diagnosed as having hypoventilation over the total population) according to the different definition available in the literature will be described

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Concordance between the diagnostic criteriaBaseline (Day 1)

Concordance between the different diagnostic criteria of hypoventilation

sensibility/specificity of the different criteria to identify daytime alveolar hypoventilation (defined on blood gas analysis)Baseine (Day 1)

sensibility/specificity of the different criteria to identify daytime alveolar hypoventilation (defined on blood gas analysis)

Prognostic value of the different definitions of nocturnal hypoventilation5 years

The ability of the examined definition to predict the need for mechanical ventilation will be investigated, defined as appearance of daytime hypercapnia or beginning of mechanical ventilation and/or mortality.
