Setting up neurological palliative outpatient clinics is one way of addressing this need. This study aims to describe the patient clientele of a neurological palliative outpatient clinic and the spectrum of necessary treatments and interventions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this longitudinal analysis, clinical routine data from a single centre were collected retrospectively from adult patients. The patient characteristics related to disease and treatment were evaluated descriptively. Factors influencing the need for ventilation were modelled in a logistic regression. The required treatment effort was modelled with a zero-inflated Beta regression. Results were reported as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two hundred and thirty-two patients were included in the study. Ninety-one patients were women, 141 were men, and the mean age was 55.42\u202fyears. Neuropalliative patients represented diagnoses such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (n\u202f=\u202f81), ischemic stroke (n\u202f=\u202f15), intracerebral haemorrhage (n\u202f=\u202f15), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (n\u202f=\u202f12), or craniocerebral trauma (n\u202f=\u202f10). Palliative care counselling was the most common intervention for patients (n\u202f=\u202f203), their close relatives (n\u202f=\u202f177), and their nursing services (n\u202f=\u202f75). Respiratory therapy (n\u202f=\u202f188), speech and language therapy (n\u202f=\u202f145), and physiotherapy (n\u202f=\u202f143) were also frequently applied interventions. Sixty patients received botulinum toxin A treatment for hypersalivation, and 32 for spasticity. The odds of needing invasive ventilation increased by 3.7 (CI 1.7\u20137.8), and the need for mechanical insufflation-exsufflation increased by 2.2 (CI 1.1\u20134.3) in patients previously discharged from early neurological-neurosurgical rehabilitation. Prior intensive care treatment increased the odds of invasive ventilation by 5.1 (CI 2.2\u201311.5) and the use of mechanical insufflation-exsufflation by 2.3 (CI 1.1\u20134.8).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Neuropalliative outpatient clinics demand a wide range of diagnostic measures and interventions as well as a multidisciplinary approach.
