Pediatric multiple sclerosis and its familial recurrence: A population based study (1999–2017)

ConclusionIn comparison to other large studies, the prevalence of POMS was high in the data collected from Tehran. POMS risk is higher among females and the sex ratio increases after puberty. We found a significant association between POMS risk and familial history in maternal second degree relatives. Further studies of POMS epidemiology might yield greater understanding of the natural history of this disease.
