Abstract |
Although multiple studies have estimated the prevalence of neurological conditions in the general Canadian population, limited research exists regarding the proportion affected with these conditions in non-acute health care settings in Canada. Data from standardized clinical assessments based on the interRAI suite of instruments were used to estimate the prevalence of eight neurological conditions across the continuum of care including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. |
