Home-based versus hospital monitoring of respiratory function changes in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)

Conclusion: Home based measuring of PEF%p and FEV1%p is a reliable method of monitoring respiratory function in pediatric and adolescent patients with DMD, in addition to hospital-based monitoring. These data further support the efficacy of idebenone in slowing respiratory function decline in DMD.
