Adult individuals with ALS diagnosed based on the Gold Coast criteria were recruited. Data were collected on socio\u2010demographics, somatometrics, comorbidities, early life exposures, disease\u2010related parameters, riluzole intake, motor and non\u2010motor symptoms, as well as functional progression. Follow\u2010up evaluations were scheduled on approximately 6\u20139\u201312\u201318\u201324\u2009months. Our aim was to identify shortcomings in the monitoring of patients with ALS in specialized centers, delineate the course of the disease, and capture factors related to the earlier occurrence of ALS and potential diagnostic delays.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 229 ALS patients were included in the present registry. The average age of diagnosis was 63.7\u2009years, with an average 12.8\u2010month interval between symptom onset and diagnosis. The presence of bulbar symptoms at onset was associated with shorter diagnostic delays. Systematic physical exercise was strongly linked to the earlier onset of symptoms. Disease progression was slower during the prediagnostic stage, more precipitous over the first year following diagnosis, and milder thereafter (~1\u2010point monthly decline in ALSFRS\u2010R on average, post\u2010diagnosis). The majority of associated motor and non\u2010motor symptoms accumulated over time. The overwhelming majority of patients were prescribed the liquid form of riluzole, which exhibited an excellent tolerability profile. Greek islands are probably the most underprivileged in terms of specialized monitoring of ALS cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
