We read with interest the letter of comments “Predictors of respiratory impairment
in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1” by Prof. Kawada [
[1]
] about our work concerning the assessment of the prevalence and predictors of respiratory
impairment by a cross-sectional study on a large Italian cohort, recently published
on Your Journal [
