Comorbidity in US patients with multiple sclerosis (2018)

The most common comorbidities from 2006 to 2014 were hyperlipidemia and hypertension (25.9%–29.7% of patients within an individual year), followed by gastrointestinal disease (18.4%–21.2% of patients) and thyroid disease (12.9%–17.1% of patients).

Diagnoses of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal disorders, thyroid disease, and anxiety were common with MS. The percentage of patients with MS with gastrointestinal disorders, thyroid disease, and anxiety increased over the 9 years. The percentage with high cholesterol increased from 2006–2009, was stable from 2009–2011, then declined from 2011–2014. The percentage with hypertension increased from 2006–2013, then declined from 2013–2014. Comorbidities were more common among older patients, except for anxiety, depression, and alcohol abuse. Diagnoses of gastrointestinal disease, lung disease, arthritis, anxiety, and depression were more common among women. High cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and alcohol abuse were more common among men. More patients in the Northeast and South had comorbidities compared with patients in the Midwest and West. A better understanding of comorbidities in MS may improve patient support, health care services, and quality of life.
