Abstract

Costs of MS patients are higher today than shown in previous studies. Disease progression and relapses are associated with increased economic and quality of life burden. Effective treatment that reduces relapse frequency and prevents progression could impact both costs and quality of life and may help to reduce the societal burden of MS.
