Abstract

INTRODUCTION: There is currently no comprehensive Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patient database in Singapore comparable to those available in Europe and the United States. We established the Singapore ALS registry (SingALS) to draw meaningful inferences about the ALS population in Singapore through developing statistical and machine learning-based predictive models.
