Patients with multiple studies were assigned their highest observed apnoea severity level.
*Percentages use the type-specific total number of patients (column 2) as the denominator. Apnoea percentages may not sum to 100 due to rounding.
†One of 10 patients with LGMD was missing hypoventilation status; thus, the denominator for hypoventilation was 9 for LGMD and 72 overall.
BMD, Becker muscular dystrophy; CMD, congenital muscular dystrophy; DM, myotonic dystrophy; DMD, Duchenne muscular dystrophy; LGMD, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.
