This study aims to determine the link between sociodemographic factors, diagnosis, and access to disease-modifying treatment for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) in Morocco.
This study concerned a sample of 520 patients representing seven regions of Morocco. We obtained data from the patient record registers, the patient's files, and a questionnaire.
The results showed female dominance (69.4%) in patients with MS (69.4%). Besides, patients with this disease are generally young; their mean age is 35.36. The employment rate among the surveyed population was 24.9%. More than 74.6% have no health care coverage, and 70.4% of the patients investigated live without treatment. The results show a significant association between access to treatment and several sociodemographic factors, such as the patient's job, health care coverage, region, and marital status. There is also a link between these sociodemographic factors and access to diagnosis.
Diagnosis and access to treatment are associated with certain sociodemographic factors such as health insurance coverage, the patient's job, regional belonging, and marital status.
本研究旨在确定摩洛哥多发性硬化症（MS）患者的社会人口因素、诊断与获得疾病修正治疗之间的关联。
本研究涉及摩洛哥七个地区的 520 名患者样本。我们从患者病历登记簿、患者档案和问卷调查中获取数据。
结果显示，MS 患者中女性占主导地位（69.4%）。此外，患有这种疾病的患者通常很年轻，平均年龄为 35.36 岁。调查人群中的就业率为 24.9%。超过 74.6%的人没有医疗保险，70.4%的患者未经治疗。结果表明，获得治疗与几个社会人口因素之间存在显著关联，如患者的工作、医疗保险覆盖范围、地区和婚姻状况。这些社会人口因素与获得诊断之间也存在联系。
诊断和获得治疗与某些社会人口因素有关，例如医疗保险覆盖范围、患者的工作、地区归属和婚姻状况。
