The course of the disease is highly variable, and although lung function has prognostic value,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> it has no predictive value since the loss of respiratory muscle function can occur abruptly.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This disease entails a very significant burden for caregivers,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> both from the perspective of care and from the economic and emotional aspects. In recent years there has been a change of attitude toward tackling the disease. Initially the clinicians’ position was more pessimistic about the treatment, citing the poor short-term prognosis. However, the introduction of noninvasive ventilation, percutaneous gastrostomy and mechanical aids for cough augmentation<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> improved the quality of life of patients and, possibly, even their survival.

Caregivers reported control of symptoms in their relatives but the relief of the respiratory symptoms was not easily achieved despite the use of drugs and sedatives. Family burden and hospitalization access were high.

The possibility of dying at home or not is related to a set of elements in which health resources, physician attitudes and support resources in the community play a role in the decision-making process.</p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In France only 36% of patients died outside medical facilities (mainly at home).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> Most French patients die in acute hospitals and only 12% out of the total die in hospices or long-term care facilities.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The variability within the same country is very high, as we can see in the results of the three Italian hospitals. In one region of Italy over 85% of patients die at home.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> However, these data should be interpreted with caution, since in many cases they refer to hospital records and not to population analysis. In order to understand the patients’ preferences it might be interesting to analyze the role of reference centers.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It seems logical to think that a reference center improves outcomes because it focuses on the knowledge and skills needed to manage complex patients as in the case of ALS. However, the benefits are more related to the intensity of interventions than to the concentration of patients. Zoccolella et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> showed that multidisciplinary clinics did not improve survival. In this study the rate of interventions in both the groups (multidisciplinary clinic and general neurology clinic) was very low: only 2.5% of patients used NIV in both groups and 6% of patients in multidisciplinary clinic used PEG.</p><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Another bias in the analysis of the benefits of reference centers is in recruitment. Some evidence suggest that proactive and aggressive therapy improves survival.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> Hutchison et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> suggested that the ALS clinic treated a group of fitter ALS patients and the general neurologists saw all patients (especially patients living further from ALS clinic, more disabled or older). Chiò et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> confirm this approach. Patients treated in specialized clinics are four years younger than those treated at non-specialized neurology clinics, they receive more aggressive treatments (PEG and NIV), they have fewer hospital admissions, and most of the hospital admissions are planned.</p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There are doubts about the benefits of a living will<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> to help physicians make clinical decisions at the end of life, mainly with respect to the decision to perform a tracheotomy or for the patient to die at home or in hospital. The most important factor is the doctor's communication skills.</p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A diverse but interrelated set of factors influence patient choices and attitudes about living and dying with ALS. There are specific circumstances that change attitudes about death and the place of death. In the Netherlands, in 2000–2005 16.8% of ALS patients chose the option of euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide (PAS), and 14.8% died during continuous deep sedation (CDS).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> This attitude is not uniform across countries, and ethical issues emerge as a main element of care plan throughout the course of the disease.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> The increase in interventions in the end-of-life period is likely to increase admissions to hospitals or health care facilities.</p><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The time elapsed since the onset of symptoms is an important prognostic factor. As Kaufmann et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> showed, symptom duration at baseline visit was a significant predictor of survival: shorter duration means higher mortality.</p><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The patients’ preferences regarding treatment choices change over time. Patients who found the interventions acceptable (PEG, NIV or tracheo) for life-extending were more likely to be recently diagnosed.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0075"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a> One possible explanation for the fact that patients who die in hospital had a shorter course of the disease could be a positive attitude toward more aggressive treatments. In our study, the disease course is a year longer in patients who die at home. Another possible explanation could be that adaptation to a disease as serious as ALS takes time.</p><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Over 60% of patients using facial mask in the last week die in hospital. A total face mask is a possible option for patients in acute respiratory failure with leaks or nose bridge skin problems.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> There are no objective reasons for the increased use of face mask ventilation in patients who die in the hospital. But it seems clear that it is more difficult to care for patients with a facial mask compared with those who only need a nasal mask.</p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There is no specific reason for the greater chance of dying in hospital for the patients who use a face mask. Perhaps these patients have worsened and do not want tracheotomy, so the facial mask is an alternative, or perhaps the use of a facial mask is an overload for the caregiver because with facial mask fluid intake and communication is much more difficult.</p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Tracheotomy does not prevent discharging severe ALS patients home. Lo Coco et al. showed that 92% of ALS patients with tracheotomy could go back home, with a median survival time of 37 months,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> and Vianello et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> showed that 87% of patients die at home. In our survey, 80% of patients with a tracheotomy die at home, a similar percentage to that described by Lo Coco and Vianello. Although it may seem paradoxical, patients with tracheotomy might represent less of a burden for the caregiver in ensuring effective ventilation. Suctioning is also easier through the tracheostomy.</p><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In our study no differences were observed regarding the place of death in relation to the presence or absence of bulbar involvement. Further studies are needed to examine the relationship between bulbar involvement and place of death in patients with ALS. The percentage of patients who are ventilated by tracheotomy in the study group is 14%. This percentage is slightly higher in the group with bulbar involvement (17%). Perhaps this small difference in favor of the tracheotomy minimizes the impact of bulbar involvement as a determinant of place of death.</p><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The accessibility of drugs and devices for secretion management is the same for both the groups of patients. This fact emphasizes that death at home does not mean undertreatment.</p><p id="par0170" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The analysis of the place of death in ALS should not be restricted to discussion of the hospital or at home. As Servera et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span></a> pointed out, the care of patients with ALS should be evaluated comprehensively. The therapy “package” should include devices or techniques for respiratory support or nutrition, but the therapy “package” must also include the organization of care in the community and easy communication with expert teams. Telemedicine<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20</span></a> plays a crucial role in an integrated care model. Hospice or health care facilities could be useful for patients dependent on a ventilator who lack family support.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0105"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a></p><p id="par0175" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is very difficult to establish the criteria for the best place to meet the needs of the end-of-life stages in patients with ALS.
