age at initial evaluation, survival (from symptom onset to death), sex, race/ethnicity, site of onset (limb/appendicular, bulbar, and respiratory), body mass index (BMI), initial ALS functional-related score-revised (ALSFRS-R) [15], total functional independence measure scores [16–19], and...
Bulbar-onset patients were diagnosed earlier than limb onset patients (mean lag of 8.2 卤 2.57 months vs 22.95 卤 17.6 months respectively, p 0.05. Diagnostic delay and age at onset of symptoms were negatively correlated, however, this was not statistically significant. Discussion: To our ...
