Inpatient, outpatient, and medication costs accounted for 25\%, 10\%, and 65\% of excess costs, respectively. Excess costs were higher in patients with MS with at least one disease-modifying therapy (DMT) prescription ($13,267; 95\% CI: $12,992{\textendash}$13,542) compared with non-DMT users ($3,469; 95\% CI: $3,297{\textendash}$3,641) and even higher among frequent DMT users ($24,835; 95\% CI: $24,528{\textendash}$25,141). Patients with MS with a history of at least one relapse requiring hospitalization had higher excess costs ($10,543; 95\% CI: $10,136{\textendash}$10,950) compared with patients with MS without a relapse; hospitalizations accounted for 51\% of the costs in this group. The excess cost of hospitalizations was $1,391 lower among frequent DMT users than non-DMT users.Discussion The economic burden of MS is considerable, with medications, particularly DMTs, being the largest cost driver. Future studies should investigate how disease management strategies, including early diagnosis and timely use of DMTs, could offset future and ongoing costs while improving patients{\textquoteright} quality of life.DAD=discharge abstract database; DMT=disease-modifying therapy; ICD=International Classification of Diseases; MS=multiple sclerosis; MSP=medical services plan}, issn = {0028-3878}, URL = {//www.ebmtp.com/content/100/9/e899}, eprint = {//www.ebmtp.com/content/100/9/e899.full.pdf}, journal = {Neurology} }
