Prevalence and incidence of multiple sclerosis in the Netherlands
Background
The rising prevalence estimates of multiple sclerosis (MS) globally underscore the imperative for up-to-date epidemiological data specific to the Netherlands.
Methods
Data from two Dutch healthcare databases (Nivel Primary Care Database and Vektis Database) comprising both general practices and hospital electronic health records in 2019 were combined to assess age- and sex-standardized MS prevalence and incidence estimates. Differences in prevalence estimates based on latitude and between primary versus secondary care records were examined.
Results
The age and sex-standardized prevalence estimate was 210.4 per 100,000 inhabitants. Incidence estimate of MS was 7.1 per 100,000 person-years within the year 2019. One-third of the MS cohort from primary care records was not documented in the hospital database over two consecutive years. Prevalence estimates were higher in northern areas versus southern areas (respectively 240.6 versus 208.3 per 100,000 inhabitants).
Conclusion
Aligning results from different global regions, prevalence estimates of MS in the Netherlands have increased significantly over the last decennia, while incidence estimates are stable. The discrepancy between MS records within the primary and secondary care setting could indicate that a substantial proportion of Dutch patients with MS are not under specialized neurological care.
期刊介绍:
Multiple Sclerosis is an area of ever expanding research and escalating publications. Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders is a wide ranging international journal supported by key researchers from all neuroscience domains that focus on MS and associated disease of the central nervous system. The primary aim of this new journal is the rapid publication of high quality original research in the field. Important secondary aims will be timely updates and editorials on important scientific and clinical care advances, controversies in the field, and invited opinion articles from current thought leaders on topical issues. One section of the journal will focus on teaching, written to enhance the practice of community and academic neurologists involved in the care of MS patients. Summaries of key articles written for a lay audience will be provided as an on-line resource.
A team of four chief editors is supported by leading section editors who will commission and appraise original and review articles concerning: clinical neurology, neuroimaging, neuropathology, neuroepidemiology, therapeutics, genetics / transcriptomics, experimental models, neuroimmunology, biomarkers, neuropsychology, neurorehabilitation, measurement scales, teaching, neuroethics and lay communication.
