AbstractDuchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe neuromuscular disorder with increasing life expectancy from late teens to over 30 years of age. The aim of this nationwide study was to explore the prevalence, life expectancy and leading causes of death in patients with DMD in Sweden. Patients with DMD were identified through the National Quality Registry for Neuromuscular Diseases in Sweden, the Swedish Registry of Respiratory Failure, pathology laboratories, neurology and respiratory clinics, and the national network for neuromuscular diseases. Age and cause of death were retrieved from the Cause of Death Registry and cross-checked with medical records. 373 DMD patients born 1970–2019 were identified, of whom 129 patients deceased during the study period. Point prevalence of adult patients with DMD on December 31st 2019 was 3.2 per 100,000 adult males. Birth prevalence was 19.2 per 100,000 male births. Median survival was 29.9 years, the leading cause of death being cardiopulmonary in 79.9% of patients. Non-cardiopulmonary causes of death (20.1% of patients) mainly pertained to injury-related pulmonary embolism (1.3 per 1000 person-years), gastrointestinal complications (1.0 per 1000 person-years), stroke (0.6 per 1000 person-years) and unnatural deaths (1.6 per 1000 person-years). Death from non-cardiopulmonary causes occurred at younger ages (mean 21.0 years, SD 8.2; p = 0.004). Age at loss of independent ambulation did not have significant impact on overall survival (p = 0.26). We found that non-cardiopulmonary causes contribute to higher mortality among younger patients with DMD. We present novel epidemiological data on the increasing population of adult patients with DMD.
