Intervention(s)
Group 1: Intervention group: n=20 families
The intervention consists of SMA-specific case management supported by an IT platform. The control group receives care at a muscle center without case management ("as usual"). The intervention period is 24 months. Survey times are the beginning of the intervention (t0), after 6 (t1), 12 (t2), 18 (t3) and 24 months (t4). Outcome measurement uses tools to measure health-related quality of life (SF36), parental burden (FaBel) and quality of care integration from a parental viewpoint (PICS-D).
