Unmet needs influence health-related quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis

ConclusionsThe study demonstrated that a higher number of both health and social care-related unmet needs predicted lower HRQoL. The health profile of the sample identified all domains of the EQ-5D-3L as being important in determining HRQoL. Data confirms that unmet needs alone are significantly related to reduced HRQoL, although the multifactorial and complex nature of MS makes it a challenge to identify the combination of aspects that fully predict variability in quality of life.
