UNLABELLED
We undertook an epidemiologic study to ascertain the prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in the Sanitary District of Calatayud, in the north-east of Spain.
METHODS
The study was performed from October 1990 to July 1996. The total number of residents in the area was 58,591. An extensive search was carried out to identify all cases of known or suspected MS through general practitioners and specialists, sanitary authorities in the area, the reference hospital, the Spanish Multiple Sclerosis Society, the newspaper and radio.
RESULTS
April 1, 1995 was chosen as prevalence day. The crude prevalence rate for the area was 58 per 100,000 (95% CI: 39-78). The approximate annual incidence rate was 2.6/100,000 (1980-1989).
CONCLUSIONS
This study and others conducted recently in Spain show that MS is more prevalent than was previously thought and afflicts at least 53-65 per 100,000 population.
未标注
我们开展了一项流行病学研究，以确定西班牙东北部卡拉塔尤德卫生区多发性硬化症（MS）的患病率。
方法
该研究于1990年10月至1996年7月进行。该地区居民总数为58591人。通过全科医生和专科医生、该地区的卫生当局、参考医院、西班牙多发性硬化症协会、报纸和广播进行了广泛搜索，以识别所有已知或疑似MS的病例。
结果
选择1995年4月1日作为患病率调查日。该地区的粗患病率为每10万人58例（95%可信区间：39 - 78）。1980 - 1989年的年发病率约为2.6/10万。
结论
这项研究以及最近在西班牙进行的其他研究表明，MS的患病率比之前认为的更高，每10万人口中至少有53 - 65人患病。
