Background: We hypothesized that differences in access to disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) could explain the association between socioeconomic status and disability progression in multiple sclerosis (MS).
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association between education level and DMT use in France.
Methods: All patients from OFSEP network with MS onset over 1996-2014 and aged ⩾ 25 years at onset were included.
Background: Studies have reported an association between socioeconomic status and disability progression in multiple sclerosis (MS), but findings using the pre-MS individual socioeconomic status are missing.
Objective: The objective was to investigate the association between education level and disability progression.
Methods: All Observatoire Français de la Sclérose en Plaques (OFSEP) patients with MS clinical onset over 1960-2014, and aged ⩾25 years at MS onset were included.
Article Synopsis
- A study examined the cancer risk in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) compared to a matched sample from the general French population over a 10-year period, using national health data.
- Among the 140,649 PwMS, the incidence of cancer was found to be slightly higher (799 per 100,000 person-years) than that of the matched controls (736 per 100,000 person-years), indicating a small overall increased risk for PwMS.
- The risk for different cancer types varied, with higher risks for bladder, brain, and cervical cancers, while prostate, breast, and colorectal cancers showed a lower risk in PwMS.
Background And Objectives: People with multiple sclerosis (MS) have an increased risk of severe coronavirus infection due to their level of motor disability or exposure to certain immunosuppressive treatments. Thus, patients with MS have had priority access to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. However, relapses after vaccination have been reported, leading some patients to not seek the recommended booster doses.

The aim of the present study was to measure impact of MS on employment rates, wages and income (including unemployment benefit, sickness benefit and disability pension) by comparing work trajectories of people living with MS with those of a matched control group. We used the HYGIE database, which is the result of the linkage of two administrative databases in the private sector for a random sample of over 900,000 people.
