Comorbidities are common in multiple sclerosis (MS); little is known in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) or outside high-income regions.
Compare comorbidities in MS/NMOSD patients, Zambia.
Comorbidities were compared for MS/NMOSD patients from Zambia's University Teaching Hospital using logistic regression.
Thirty-three were included (MS/NMOSD:17/16); 22 (67 %) females, mean age=35.6-years. Fifteen (46 %) had any comorbidity [MS/NMOSD:11/4], 14 physical (MS/NMOSD:10/4) and 6 psychiatric comorbidity (MS/NMOSD:5/1). Odds of any/any physical comorbidity was higher in MS versus NMOSD (age-adjusted odds ratio[aOR]=6.9;95 %CI:1.4-34.7,p=0.020/aOR=5.6;95 %:1.1-28.0,p=0.037).
Physical comorbidity affected >2-in-5 MS/NMOSD patients and psychiatric disorders ∼1-in-5. Odds of any/any physical comorbidity were >five-fold higher in MS versus NMOSD.
合并症在多发性硬化症(MS)中很常见;在视神经脊髓炎谱系疾病(NMOSD)或高收入地区以外,知之甚少。
比较赞比亚 MS/NMOSD 患者的合并症。
使用逻辑回归比较赞比亚大学教学医院的 MS/NMOSD 患者的合并症。
共纳入 33 例(MS/NMOSD:17/16);22 例(67%)为女性,平均年龄为 35.6 岁。15 例(46%)有任何合并症[MS/NMOSD:11/4],14 例为躯体合并症(MS/NMOSD:10/4),6 例为精神合并症(MS/NMOSD:5/1)。MS 患者发生任何/任何躯体合并症的几率高于 NMOSD(年龄调整后的比值比[aOR]=6.9;95%CI:1.4-34.7,p=0.020/aOR=5.6;95%CI:1.1-28.0,p=0.037)。
超过 2/5 的 MS/NMOSD 患者存在躯体合并症,约 1/5 的患者存在精神障碍。MS 患者发生任何/任何躯体合并症的几率比 NMOSD 患者高 5 倍以上。
