PG - 130-137 LID - 10.1002/mus.27766 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION/AIMS: Although the extent of muscle weakness and organ complications has not been well studied in patients with late-onset myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), adult-onset DM1 is associated with severe muscle involvement and possible life-threatening cardiac and respiratory complications. In this study we aimed to compare the clinical phenotype of adult-onset vs late-onset DM1, focusing on the prevalence of cardiac, respiratory, and muscular involvement. METHODS: Data were prospectively collected in the Dutch DM1 registry. RESULTS: Two hundred seventy-five adult-onset and 66 late-onset DM1 patients were included. Conduction delay on electrocardiogram was present in 123 of 275 (45%) adult-onset patients, compared with 24 of 66 (36%) late-onset patients (P = .218). DM1 subtype did not predict presence of conduction delay (odds ratio [OR] 0.706; confidence interval [CI] 0.405 to 1.230, P = .219). Subtype did predict indication for noninvasive ventilation (NIV) (late onset vs adult onset: OR, 0.254; CI, 0.104 to 0.617; P = .002) and 17% of late-onset patients required NIV compared with 40% of adult-onset patients. Muscular Impairment Rating Scale (MIRS) scores were significantly different between subtypes (MIRS 1 to 3 in 66% of adult onset vs 100% of late onset [P < .001]), as were DM1-activ(C) scores (67 +/- 21 in adult onset vs 87 +/- 15 in late onset; P < .001). DISCUSSION: Although muscular phenotype was milder in late-onset compared with adult-onset DM1, the prevalence of conduction delay was comparable. Moreover, subtype was unable to predict the presence of cardiac conduction delay. Although adult-onset patients had an increased risk of having an NIV indication, 17% of late-onset patients required NIV. Despite different muscular phenotypes, screening for multiorgan involvement should be equally thorough in late-onset as in adult-onset DM1. CI - (c) 2022 The Authors.
