Usage and equitability of multiple sclerosis dmt in england
Patients with MS are drawn from every stratum of society. It is important that patients have equitable access to disease modifying treatments (DMT). Patient registry data on 3490 subjects from 16 centres in England from the past 26 months of the TONiC study were aligned, by postcode, with indices of deprivation, from the Office of National Statistics. These indices and disease factors were cross-tabulated with DMT usage. The sample's sex and disease type distribution were representative of a typical MS population. 53% were on DMT (22% injectables, 13% natalizumab, 9% orals, 9% other). 92% of rapidly evolving, 63% of relaps...
