AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores the link between socioeconomic status (SES) and mortality among people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), highlighting a gap in understanding.
- Researchers analyzed data from 12,126 MS patients diagnosed between 1994 and 2017, using a statistical model to evaluate the impact of SES on mortality risk.
- Findings indicate that lower SES is significantly linked to higher mortality risk, with the most deprived individuals facing a mortality risk 61% higher than those least deprived.
Article Abstract
Background: The relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and mortality among persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) is poorly understood.
Objective: To investigate the association between SES and mortality risk in PwMS.
Methods: From health-administrative data, we identified 12,126 incident MS cases with a first demyelinating event (MS 'onset') occurring between 1994 and 2017. Cox proportional hazard model assessed the association between socioeconomic status quintiles (SES-Qs) at MS onset and all-cause mortality.
Results: Lower SES-Qs were associated with higher mortality risk; adjusted hazard ratios: SES-Q1 (most deprived) =1.61 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.36-1.91); SES-Q2 = 1.26 (95% CI = 1.05-1.50); SES-Q3 = 1.22 (95% CI = 1.02-1.46); SES-Q4 = 1.13 (95% CI = 0.94-1.35) versus SES-Q5 (least deprived).
Conclusion: A lower SES was associated with higher mortality risk in PwMS.
