Abstract
This is the first observational study on long-term NPPV use in children in Japan that examined outcomes in patients with a range of disorders. The initiation situation, management, and outcomes differed between patients with neuromuscular and non-neuronal muscular diseases. Long-term use of NPPV is possible in many cases, including children with SMID, but can be challenging to continue in patients with progressive diseases such as metabolic/degenerative diseases. Careful discussions regarding the management of each patient are necessary.
