Description:
Statement of Need:
Adults now make up more than a quarter of patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a debilitating genetic disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy, but advances in research, supportive care, and disease-modifying therapies have largely centered on pediatric populations. Consequently, adults with SMA often face “fragmented” care pathways that are particularly problematic when transitioning from pediatric to adult care.
In this educational webcast, expert faculty will discuss the treatment needs of adult patients with SMA and the unique challenges and experiences of those patients transitioning from pediatric to adult care. The webcast will also include insights about how to navigate systems and utilize the most up-to-date and appropriate therapeutic approaches for adult patients with SMA.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this CME/CE activity, participants should be able to:
• Evaluate the burden of SMA on adult patients including clinical, quality of life (QoL), and psychological/psychosocial outcomes.
• Develop best practice interdisciplinary strategies to meet the needs of patients with SMA transitioning from pediatric to adult care.
• Integrate appropriate therapeutic approaches to care for adult patients with SMA.
