International audienceBACKGROUND: Because studies of the incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have uncertain feasibility and high costs, mortality rates are often used to provide an estimate. We performed a systematic review of the literature concerning mortality related to ALS. We aimed to use well-known criteria of good epidemiological practice to assess the methodological quality of the studies. METHODS: A Medline and ScienceDirect literature search was performed to identify studies on ALS mortality published from 1971 to 2009. The literature was examined following 6 criteria. RESULTS: Of the 29 studies examined, almost all presented a clear definition of the population at risk, but 55% of the papers did not report on the acc...
