In this online, self-learning activity: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), characterized by loss of motor neurons in the cortex and spinal cord and progressive paralysis. A quarter of patients survive no more than six months after symptom onset or diagnosis, and the majority of patients die from respiratory failure within 5 years. Although the etiology of ALS remains unknown, evidence suggests autoimmune mechanisms, genetic mutations, and environmental factors play roles. Occurring more commonly in men, the incidence of ALS varies widely and is estimated to be between 1 and 23 per 100,000 person-years, and the prevalence 6 to 9. Estimates of the economic burden range from $64,000 to $200,000 per patient per year.
