Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the prevalence of ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia in Spain, involving 1933 patients from various regions between 2018 and 2019.
- Results showed that ataxia was more prevalent (70.9%) compared to hereditary spastic paraplegia (29.1%), with overall prevalence rates of 5.48 and 2.24 cases per 100,000 population, respectively.
- A significant portion of patients (47.6%) lacked a genetic diagnosis, highlighting the need for improved healthcare resources and awareness for these rare disorders.

Introduction: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease in which specialized nutritional support is essential. The objectives of our study were to describe nutritional support at the beginning of follow-up and its impact on anthropometry and survival.
Methods: An interhospital registry was created for the hospitals of Castilla-León through a web platform designed for this purpose.
Dysphagia is a highly prevalent symptom in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and the implantation of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a very frequent event. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of PEG implantation on survival and complications in ALS. An interhospital registry of patients with ALS of six hospitals in the Castilla-León region (Spain) was created between January 2015 and December 2017.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the prevalence of ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia in Spain during 2019, finding 1,809 affected patients with an average age of 53.64 years.
- - Results showed that 70.9% of patients had ataxia, with prevalence rates of 5.48 cases per 100,000, while hereditary spastic paraplegia had a prevalence of 2.24 cases per 100,000.
- - The study highlighted that genetic causes were unidentified in nearly half of the patients, emphasizing the need for better healthcare resources and awareness about these neurodegenerative disorders.
