Medical records of 10 steroid treated and 25 untreated DMD patients are analyzed. Forced vital capacity (FVC), maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV), and PCF data were collected. Groups were compared with Wilcoxon test and predictive relationships assessed with multiple linear regression. PCF (P = 0.047) & MEP (P = 0.021) were higher in the treated patients [PCF values 27 L/min higher than the untreated (95% CI = 2 L/min to 52 L/min, P = 0.033)]. MVV was most predictive of PCF. We concluded that long term steroid therapy may be beneficial to PCF and respiratory muscle strength in DMD. MVV may be a useful predictor of lung function in DMD. 2007-04-03 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1170363103 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1170363103 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
