There is a dearth of epidemiological data about multiple sclerosis (MS) and related demyelinating disorders in India. In this study, a registry method was used for collecting data from secure sources and the index cases were verified Seventy nine patients were identified . A crude prevalence of 8.3/100,000 was obtained for MS and 6.2/100,000 for clinically-isolated syndrome (CIS). Age-standardized prevalence of MS relative to the world population was 7.8/100,000. Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and spectrum disorders (NMOS) constituted 13.9% of all demyelinating disorders, with a prevalence of 2.6/100,000. Larger studies with more refined survey methodologies are required to understand the true prevalence of demyelinating disorders in India.
关于印度多发性硬化症（MS）及相关脱髓鞘疾病的流行病学数据匮乏。在本研究中，采用登记方法从可靠来源收集数据，并对索引病例进行了核实。共识别出79例患者。MS的粗患病率为8.3/10万，临床孤立综合征（CIS）的粗患病率为6.2/10万。相对于世界人口，MS的年龄标准化患病率为7.8/10万。视神经脊髓炎（NMO）及谱系疾病（NMOS）占所有脱髓鞘疾病的13.9%，患病率为2.6/10万。需要开展采用更精细调查方法的更大规模研究，以了解印度脱髓鞘疾病的真实患病率。
