Many patients with AFM may experience respiratory compromise and develop chronic respiratory failure. However, most of these patients can be weaned off ventilatory support by 1 year from illness onset. Most children with unilateral diaphragm impairment can sustain adequate ventilation without the need for long-term ventilatory support.
