Abstract
BACKGROUND: Late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) is a rare, metabolic disease primarily affecting the musculoskeletal and respiratory systems. Forced vital capacity (FVC) is commonly used to measure pulmonary function; however, associations between FVC and other LOPD outcomes remain unclear.Entities:

Fig. 1Association between logarithm-transformed baseline percent predicted FVC and logarithm-transformed baseline: a maximal inspiration pressure and b maximal expiration pressure; and baseline percent predicted FVC and baseline: c 6-min walk test; d SF-36 physical component score. Colors correspond to the studies making up the pooled cohort. In each case, the lines correspond to regression lines obtained through mixed-effects regression

Panel a displays the relationship between the observed FVC and observed MRC results with a regression line. Panel b displays the trajectories by individuals across time for observed values

All models included an intercept and log time, except for the 6MWT, which also included baseline FVC, an interaction term between FVC and baseline FVC, as well as whether a patient had baseline 6MWT above 500 m. The other exception was MRC, which did not include time
