摘要
Recent epidemiological surveys indicated that the rate of morbidity and mortality from motor neuron disease (MND) has increased worldwide. We evaluated whether the incidence of the disease has also changed in Padua, Italy, using a retrospective method to study all MND cases hospitalized in the Padua district from 1980 to 1991. As in other regions of the world, we also found an increased incidence of the disease.
