| Abstract |
Respiratory failure is a recognized late complication of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It is related to the neurological progression of the diseases with the impairment of the respiratory musculature. Survival and quality of life of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients is improved by using noninvasive mechanical ventilation. The rate of long-term mechanical ventilation is different within and between countries. Cultural factors, socioeconomic conditions, and physician attitude often influence the decision to start noninvasive ventilation. Technical elements, like the choice of the correct interface, solid caregivers support, and the communication between the patient and the physician are essential for achieving therapeutic goals, especially in the case of continuous treatment. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 October 2018.
All research outputs
#6,382,341
of 23,102,082 outputs
Outputs from Degenerative Neurological and Neuromuscular Disease
#35
of 86 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#112,630
of 335,775 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Degenerative Neurological and Neuromuscular Disease
#1
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,102,082 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 86 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 335,775 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
