Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation: Symptomatology, Well-Being, and Attitudes to Life	2020-09-06		.txt	text/plain	4430	223	48	This study aims to describe the mood, well-being, distressing symptoms, and attitudes toward prolonged ventilation among PMV patients treated either at home or long-term acute care (LTAC). RESULTS: Participants were aged 61.7 ± 20.7 years, commonly suffered progressive neuromuscular disease (43.5%) or chronic lung disease (29%), were functionally dependent, treated at home (64.5%) or LTAC (35.5%), and had a mean PMV duration of 36.6 months (interquartile range 10.8-114.1). Although no significant differences were observed in the severity of the 10 r-ESAS subitem symptoms between home and LTAC, nonetheless, well-being was reported as asymptomatic or mildly impaired by 54% of home PMV patients compared with 26% among long-term care, with similar rates of severely impaired well-being reported by 10% and 11% of patients, respectively.	./cache/cord-276621-9exp8e7h.txt	./txt/cord-276621-9exp8e7h.txt
