Frailties and critical issues in neuromuscular diseases highlighted by SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: how many patients are still "invisible"?
Almost 90% of neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) are classified as rare diseases, defined as conditions affecting less than 5 individuals in 10.000 (0.05%). Their rarity and diversity pose specific challenges for healthcare and research. Epidemiological data on NMDs are often lacking and incomplete. The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the management difficulties of NMDs patients and the necessity to continue the program of implementation of standard of care. This article summarizes the Italian experience during pandemic.
