Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Motor neurone disease (MND) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition.
  • Accurate epidemiological data is crucial for understanding disease burden and planning healthcare resources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence and prevalence of motor neurone disease (MND) across all of Ireland.
  • To compare current MND rates with historical data and international benchmarks.

Main Methods:

  • A population-based, prospective epidemiological survey was conducted.
  • Data were collected from the Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland MND registers for the period 2004-2005.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of MND was 1.9 per 100,000 person-years.
  • The prevalence of MND was 5.0 per 100,000 population.
  • Rates were comparable between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Conclusions:

  • MND incidence and prevalence in Ireland are consistent with other European prospective surveys.
  • Disease rates in the Republic of Ireland have remained relatively constant over the past decade.
