Baseline characteristics of ALS cohort
Cohort (N) | Male/Female (N)(%) (N=342) | Age at Onset (y)(CI) (N=312) | Bulbar Site of Onset (N)(%) (N=313) | Duration (y)(CI) (N=312) | FH Motor Neuron Disease (N)(%)(N=313) | FH Neuro-degeneration (N)(%)(N=313) | Neuropathology (N)(%) (N=342) | TDP-43 Type (1/2/3)(%) (N=30) | Known Mutations (N)(%) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
342 | 176/166 (51/49) | 58.8 (57.6–60.0) | 74/239 (24/76) | 3.4 (3.1–3.8) | 37/276 (12/88) | 157/156 (50/50) | 52/290 (15/85) | 0/0/30 (0/0/100) | 36 (11%) |
Abbreviations: ALS = amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, N = number, y = years, CI = 95% confidence interval, and FH is family history. To estimate disease duration, intervals between age at onset and age at death or between age at onset and current age were calculated.
