Palliative care needs and utilisation of specialist services for people diagnosed with motor neuron disease: a national population-based study
Patients with MND were more likely to need assistance for decreased function and activities of daily living, rather than symptom management. This population could have potentially been cared for in the palliative phase in a community setting if greater access to supportive services were available in this context.
