What is The Implications of Suboptimal Year-1 Outcomes with Disease-modifying Therapy in Employees with Multiple Sclerosis about?
Aim: Multiple sclerosis (MS) poses a substantial employer burden in medically related absenteeism and disability costs due to the chronic and debilitating nature of the disease. Although previous studies have evaluated relapse, nonadherence, discontinuation, and switching individually, little is known about their overall collective prevalence and implications in employees with MS treated with diseasemodifying therapies (DMTs). This study evaluated the proportion of employees with MS with suboptimal DMT year-1 outcomes and to quantify the clinical and economic burden of suboptimal year-1 outcomes from a US employer perspective. Materials and Methods: Employees with MS were selected from the Workpartners database. Eligibility criteria were: 2 MS diagnosis claims (ICD-9-CM 340.xx/ICD-10-CM G35) from January 1, 2010-March 31, 2019, 1 once-/twice-daily oral or self-injectable DMT claim (first claim 1⁄4 index), continuous eligibility 6-months pre-/1-year post-index, no baseline DMT, and age 18-64 years. Suboptimal year-1 outcomes included: non-adherence (proportion of days covered 60 days), switch, or relapse (MS-related hospitalization, emergency room visit, or outpatient visit with co
