Study design details

• Main study objective:
  The primary objectives are as follows: -To describe the real-world, long-term effectiveness of risdiplam on disease progression & to compare the impact of potential effect modifiers (symptomatic status, SMN2 copy number) on long-term effectiveness -To compare the real-world, long-term effectiveness outcomes between a cohort of risdiplam-treated patients & cohort of DMT-naive patients
• Outcomes:
  - Time to all-cause mortality (survival) by the end of study participation - Prolonged/permanent ventilation-free survival - Developmental motor milestone achievement - Motor function assessed using Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders (CHOP-INTEND), Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded (HFMSE), or Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM), - Time to onset of symptoms (within the pre-symptomatic group) - Time to need for nutritional support/tube feeding - Length of stay in hospitalisations and reasons for hospitalisations - Withdrawal of risdiplam treatment and reasons for withdrawal of treatment (risdiplam cohort only)
• Data analysis plan:
  The raw data will be extracted from different data sources, followed by homogenization, pooling and then central analysis. All effectiveness outcomes will be summarized descriptively per cohort by an approximate 6-month timepoint. Continuous variables will be described with summary statistics such as n, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum values. Also, treatment differences and 95% CIs will be presented. For each categorical variable, odds ratio, or relative risks, 95% CIs, frequency, and percentage will be reported. The time to event for each outcome will be reported in months, summarised descriptively and analysed using Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression model. Median survival time estimates and survival probabilities at each study period time point will be analysed. The other objective will be achieved by comparing the two cohorts and using statistical techniques like inverse probability weighting and multivariable regression analysis.
