Abstract

Persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a close-to-normal life span and can look forward to a high level of consumption of health care services for an average of 40 to 50 years. As expensive new treatments for MS are developed and better rehabilitation techniques are implemented, lifetime health care costs for MS patients can be very great. This article discusses ways in which these costs can be managed.

摘要

患有多发性硬化症（MS）的人寿命接近正常，并且在平均40到50年的时间里有望大量使用医疗保健服务。随着针对MS的昂贵新疗法的研发以及更好的康复技术的应用，MS患者的终身医疗保健成本可能会非常高昂。本文讨论了控制这些成本的方法。
