NCT ID NCT07467187
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks back at the last 10 years in Denmark to understand how many people use breathing machines at home through a tube in their windpipe. Researchers will track which diseases lead to this need and how many patients survive one year after starting. The goal is to spot patterns and improve care for people with conditions like ALS, spinal cord injuries, and muscular dystrophy.
