Clinical course of multiple sclerosis and labor ‐force absenteeism: a longitudinal population‐based study

ConclusionsPatients with RRMS have substantially lower levels of sick leave and disability pension over time compared with their counterparts with SPMS and PPMS, while labour ‐force absenteeism is similar for patients with SPMS and PPMS. These findings contribute to the understanding of the impact of MS on socio‐economic outcomes and help inform the discussion on the clinical classification of different courses of the disease.This article is protected by copyright.
