166PEarly functional trajectories in young boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a 24-month international study using the NSAA
This study investigated 24-month trajectories of the North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) total score and its timed items—the 10-meter walk/run (10MWR) and time to rise from floor (TRF)—in 315 ambulant boys with genetically confirmed Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), aged 4 to 7 years, across Italian (n=113), UK (n=196), and Spanish (n=6) national networks. Assessments were performed at baseline, 12, 18, and 24 months. The 315 boys had a total of 523 24-month paired assessments. The NSAA score improved at 24 months in the group with an age at baseline of 4 years (n=102): +5.06 and 5 years(n=133): +2.16, while declined in the group aged at baseline of 6 years (n=138): -2.95 and 7 years (n=141): -5.51. 10MWR improved at 24 months in the group with an age at baseline of 4 years (n=102): –1.11s and 5 years(n=133): -0.74s, while it declined in the group aged at baseline of 6 years (n=138): +1.47s and 7 years (n=141): +2.14s. TRF improved at 24 months in the group with an age at baseline of 4 years (n=102): –1.14s, while it declined in the group aged at baseline of 5 years (n=132): +1.28s, of 6 years (n=135): +5.00 s and 7 years (n=138): +6.59s. We used a linear mixed model to identify factors influencing NSAA score over time, with time, TRF at baseline, 10MWR at baseline, age at baseline, and NSAA at baseline as predictors. Random effects were included to account for repeated measures within patients. The analysis found a significant decline in NSAA scores over time. Poorer baseline TRF, 10MWR performance, and older age at baseline were all associated with lower NSAA scores over time. These findings highlight the variability in early disease progression across the different measures in young boys with DMD and underscore how baseline values can help to identify distinct trajectories. Stratification by baseline values may support more individualized monitoring and inform clinical trial design in this age group.
期刊介绍:
This international, multidisciplinary journal covers all aspects of neuromuscular disorders in childhood and adult life (including the muscular dystrophies, spinal muscular atrophies, hereditary neuropathies, congenital myopathies, myasthenias, myotonic syndromes, metabolic myopathies and inflammatory myopathies).
The Editors welcome original articles from all areas of the field:
• Clinical aspects, such as new clinical entities, case studies of interest, treatment, management and rehabilitation (including biomechanics, orthotic design and surgery).
• Basic scientific studies of relevance to the clinical syndromes, including advances in the fields of molecular biology and genetics.
• Studies of animal models relevant to the human diseases.
The journal is aimed at a wide range of clinicians, pathologists, associated paramedical professionals and clinical and basic scientists with an interest in the study of neuromuscular disorders.
