A population-based epidemiologic study of adult neuromuscular disease in the Republic of Ireland

Conclusions: The PR of all adult NMD in RoI is relatively high when compared with other chronic neurologic disorders, although some figures may be an underestimate of the true prevalence. The data provide a framework for international comparison and service planning.
