  • EFNS guidelines on the clinical management of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (MALS) : revised report of an EFNS task force
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Neurology. - : Wiley. - 1351-5101 .- 1468-1331. ; 19:3, s. 360-E24

    • Background: The evidence base for the diagnosis and management of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is weak. Objectives: To provide evidence-based or expert recommendations for the diagnosis and management of ALS based on a literature search and the consensus of an expert panel. Methods: All available medical reference systems were searched, and original papers, meta-analyses, review papers, book chapters and guidelines recommendations were reviewed. The final literature search was performed in February 2011. Recommendations were reached by consensus. Recommendations: Patients with symptoms suggestive of ALS should be assessed as soon as possible by an experienced neurologist. Early diagnosis should be pursued, and investigations, including neurophysiology, performed with a high priority. The patient should be informed of the diagnosis by a consultant with a good knowledge of the patient and the disease. Following diagnosis, the patient and relatives/carers should receive regular support from a multidisciplinary care team. Medication with riluzole should be initiated as early as possible. Control of symptoms such as sialorrhoea, thick mucus, emotional lability, cramps, spasticity and pain should be attempted. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy feeding improves nutrition and quality of life, and gastrostomy tubes should be placed before respiratory insufficiency develops. Non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation also improves survival and quality of life. Maintaining the patient's ability to communicate is essential. During the entire course of the disease, every effort should be made to maintain patient autonomy. Advance directives for palliative end-of-life care should be discussed early with the patient and carers, respecting the patient's social and cultural background.

  • Incidence and risk factors for injuries to the recurrent laryngeal nerve during neck surgery in the moderate-volume setting
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Langenbeck's archives of surgery (Print). - : Springer. - 1435-2443 .- 1435-2451. ; 399:4, s. 509-515
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Purpose: Total lobectomy is currently recommended also in benign thyroid disease in order to reduce the risk of goitre recurrence, an approach claimed not to increase post-operative morbidity. The aim of the study was to analyse risk factors for recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy during neck surgery, with particular interest in complications after total lobectomy and subtotal resection, respectively.Methods: All consecutive patients operated for thyroid and parathyroid diseases at one institution between 1984 and 2011 were prospectively recorded, and 1,322 patients were included. Patients with permanent post-operative RLN palsy were re-examined in 2011.Results: The risk of permanent RLN palsy after parathyroid surgery was 0.3 %. Patients operated for thyroid cancer had a 5.9 % risk of permanent nerve injury, higher than that of patients with benign thyroid disease (1.4 %; P = 0.029). Independent risk factors for RLN paralysis after benign thyroid surgery were intrathoracic goitre (odds ratio (OR), 3.57; 95 % confidence interval, 1.70-7.48), ipsilateral redo-surgery (OR, 3.64; 1.00-13.28) and total lobectomy (OR, 2.41; 1.05-5.55). At long-time follow-up (median, 10 years), 7 of 12 patients with permanent RLN palsy still suffered moderate or severe symptoms.Conclusions: RLN paralysis is an infrequent complication after neck surgery, but with major negative impact on patients' well-being when permanent. Hemithyroidectomy/total thyroidectomy is increasingly preferred over subtotal resection in multinodular goitre. This is supported by an increased risk of RLN injury during redo-surgery for recurrency but should be carefully weighed against individual risk factors for nerve palsy, including surgical experience and volume.
