Risk of bias

Bias

Authors' judgement

Support for judgement

Random sequence generation (selection bias)

Low risk

Computer generated

Allocation concealment (selection bias)

Low risk

Immediate allocation following randomisation

Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias)
All outcomes

High risk

Not possible to blind delivery of the non‐invasive ventilation

Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias)
All outcomes

High risk

No information given on whether outcome assessors were blinded to knowledge of allocation intervention when assessing the data.

Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias)

Methods

Prospective randomised study

Participants

7 participants with ALS in early NIPPV group and 6 participants in late NIPPV group

NCT00386464

Described in trial registry as a randomised comparison of NIV at night or usual care. Investigator responded to review authors' enquiry in November 2015 that the trial had recruitment problems, was not completed, and there have been no publications.

NCT00537446

Does not compare ventilation to no ventilation or standard care; compared high‐level ventilation versus low‐level ventilation (each for 2 hours)

NCT00560287

Does not compare ventilation to no ventilation or standard care; this was a comparison of pressure support versus volume‐assisted mode NIV delivered by home care providers. No publication identified.

NCT00958048

Listed in trial registry as a randomised controlled trial of non‐invasive ventilation (BPAP) versus no non‐invasive ventilation. The contact person (Dr Lee) informed the review authors that the study was converted into an observational study, as participants were not willing to be randomised, hence the study was not eligible for inclusion.

Randomised trial. Does not compare ventilation to no ventilation or standard care; compared home pressure ventilator model Vivo 40 (BREAS Medical AB) initiated early (when FVC is less than 75% predicted) versus standard initiation (when FVC is less than 50% predicted). No outcome data on NIV, survival, or quality of life available in abstract.

Sivak 1982

Not a randomised trial. Anecdotal study

Winterholler 2001

Not a randomised trial. Retrospective study without control group. 20 ALS participants received NIPPV.

Adverse events (not reported)

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1Calculated CIs are approximate.
2We assessed the evidence as of moderate quality, as it was based on a single randomised trial of 41 participants.
3For quality of life outcomes, we further downgraded the evidence due to lack of blinding.
