Huntington’s disease (HD) patients and families deserve expert treatment and care throughout their lives, but uniformity in functional diagnosis and treatment was lacking. In the aim of reaching this uniformity on day-to-day treatment and care offered by multidisciplinary outreach teams from Dutch long term care facilities for ambulatory HD patients, a consensus trajectory was started to harmonise our care programme with international standards and within the country. The consensus statements, given as supplementary material, should lead to expert treatment and care for HD families throughout the Netherlands and this manuscript should contribute and revitalise a global discussion on standards of treatment and care.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
