Staging model for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Singapore by Yuan Teck Tay, Josiah YH Chai, Kamilah Bte Shekh Jabin, Kexin Ang

“…In this retrospective cohort study, clinical milestones used for staging were identical to King’s staging: stage 1 corresponded to symptom onset; stage 2A corresponded to diagnosis; stage 2B corresponded to two central nervous system (CNS) regions; stage 3B corresponded to three CNS regions; stage 4A corresponded to requirement of supportive enteric feeding; and stage 4B corresponded to requirement of non-invasive ventilation, of which bulbar, diaphragmatic, upper and lower limb pyramidal involvements each constituted one CNS region. Standardised timings from disease onset (0) to death (1) among Singapore patients with ALS were measured. …”
