title: [Clinical epidemiology of multiple sclerosis in Moscow. Сlinical demo-graphic characteristics in population of one region of Moscow].
abstract: The changes in clinical features of multiple sclerosis (MS) are noted worldwide which can be explained by diagnosis improvement and DMT implementation. Epidemiological studies of 2008-2012 in the North-West Administrative District of Moscow noted the higher proportion of women among patients of MS (M:F=1:2.61), longer duration of the disease (mean 14.3±10.6 years, maximum - 53 years) and life expectancy of patients (44.3±12.7 years, the maximum age - 77 years). The percentage of patients with secondary progressive course of MS increased (35%). In addition, MS onset before 16 years old was diagnosed more often (5.66% of cases) and late onset MS was identified in 4.04% of the cases. Up to 45.9% of MS patients have moderate and expressed disability (group 1 and 2 disability).
