[Pregnancy and disseminated sclerosis. A retrospective study].
A retrospective investigation was undertaken on 64 female patients with disseminated sclerosis (DS) on the Island of Funen. The object was to investigate whether pregnancy and delivery influenced the course of the disease. The results were standardized for the age of commencement and the duration of the disease. In addition, the available literature on the subject is reviewed. It was found that the group of women in whom the disease commenced before or in connection with pregnancy or delivery had more severe physical handicaps than women without children or in whom the disease commenced after the last delivery. Women in whom the disease commenced in connection with the last delivery were most severely handicapped. In women in whom the disease commenced more than six months after the last delivery, the long term prognosis is not poorer than for women without children.
