Prevalence and determinants of language impairment in non‐demented amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients

This study aimed at estimating the prevalence of language impairment (LI) in a large, clinic‐based cohort of non‐demented amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients and assessing its underpinnings at motor and non‐motor levels.
