VC repeated measurements is a poor predictor of the need for further MV in MG patients.

Early admissions to the ICU of MG patients with respiratory dysfunction is thus recommended.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
