Detailed Description
Patients with ALS who were admitted to a tertiary hospital for initially applying non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV). The objective of this study was to investigate factors associated with optimal NIPPV initiation and adherence, and to assess the long-term effects of NIPPV adherence in ALS patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Success of NIPPV [through intervention completion, with an average of 10 days]
The success of NIPPV application was defined empirically as use of ≥ 2 hours per day and the failure as use of < 2 hours for a day or conversion to invasive positive pressure ventilation via tracheostomy or refuse to apply NIPPV during hospitalization.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Lenght of stay [through intervention completion, with an average of 10 days]
The length of stay (LOS) was defined as the interval between admission and hospital discharge, and calculated as the number of midnights between admission and discharge from the hospital.
