Abstract
Background: The peak prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) is shifting to older patients. Using real-world data, we describe outcomes among older (≥60 years) and younger patients treated with interferon beta-1a or no disease-modifying therapy (no-DMT).
Methods: Assessments over 24 months included annualized relapse rates (ARRs), patient-reported disability outcomes, and MS Performance Test (MSPT) outcomes.
Results: The study included 767 interferon-treated and 2783 no-DMT patients. ARR over 24 months was lower for the older and younger interferon-treated patients than the no-DMT patients. Mean change in Patient-Determined Disease Steps (PDDS) from baseline-24 months was -0.13 (1.08) in older interferon-treated patients vs 0.20 (1.30) in older no-DMT patients.
Conclusion: Over 24 months ARR remained low and disability progression was stable for interferon-treated patients aged ≥ 60 years.
