Seventy percent (210) of these children had Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, 22% (67) had Spinal Muscular Atrophy (34 with Type I) and 8% had other neuromuscular diseases. Numbers of referrals have not significantly increased over the last 15 years, although an increasing number come from a South Asian background (from 4% to 32%) and a higher number of children have conditions other than Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. A total of 55.3% (166) of all referrals came from areas of the highest deprivation. Survival patterns varied by diagnostic group, but ethnicity and deprivation were not associated with survival in these children.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The profile of children with progressive neuromuscular conditions who were referred for palliative care has changed over the last 20 years, with a different spectrum of underlying diagnoses and a greater number from a South Asian background.
