Overview
NICE has reviewed DMD Care UK’s guideline on respiratory care for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We think the guideline from DMD Care UK is a useful resource that will help healthcare professionals improve care in this area.
NICE has carried out this review to support improved care and outcomes for people with DMD, and to assist healthcare professionals in their decision making. However, NICE has not developed its own recommendations for this topic.
NICE has chosen to present this guideline on the basis that:
- it covers a condition that NICE does not have an existing guideline on
- it was developed using an appropriate process and methods.
Disclaimer
NICE does not assume responsibility for the content of the guideline, including its clinical recommendations, accuracy, or relevance to specific patient circumstances. Healthcare professionals should exercise their own clinical judgment and consider local policies, individual patient needs, and other relevant guidance before applying any information from the linked material in practice.
