Prevalence and determinants of anxiety in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Key Points

This research aims to assess the prevalence and determinants of anxiety in non-demented ALS patients.
Evaluated anxiety levels in non-demented ALS patients.
Analyzed the relationship between anxiety and depression facets.
Explored independence from motor and cognitive features.
Approximately 18% of ALS patients exhibited significant state-anxiety levels.
Around 14% reported significant trait-anxiety.
Anxiety was primarily influenced by cognitive and affective aspects of depression.

Abstract

Clinically significant levels of state- and trait-anxiety occur in ∼18 and ∼14% of non-demented ALS patients, respectively, mostly driven by cognitive and affective facets of depression, and are independent of motor and cognitive/behavioural features.
