Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system characterized by inflammatory demyelination and neurodegeneration. Numerous disease-modifying therapies for MS exist but are only partially effective, making it essential to optimize all factors that may influence the course of the disease. This includes conscientious management of both mental and physical comorbidities, as well as a comprehensive strategy for promoting wellness in patients with MS. Thoughtful engagement of those living with MS through shared decision making and involvement of a multidisciplinary team that includes primary care, relevant specialists, psychology, and rehabilitation is likely to lead to better outcomes.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis has historically been characterized as a disease that affects young women of European ancestry, but recent studies indicate that the incidence and prevalence of the disease is much higher in Black and Hispanic populations than previously recognized. There is evidence that there is a more severe disease course in these populations. , but the intersection of genetic underpinnings and social determinants of health (SDOH) is poorly understood due to the lack of diversity in clinical research. Improving health disparities will involve multiple stakeholders in efforts to improve SDOH and raise awareness about research involvement and the importance of developing personalized health care plans to combat this disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the social determinants of health (SDOH) in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) with SDOH, elucidating the SDOH variables of highest salience in this geographical region. METHODS Focus groups and a structured survey of Massachusetts residents with SDOH and a diagnosis of MS were conducted by a neurologist and staff, December 2022-July 2023, via Zoom™. Twenty-one consecutively-recruited, convenience-sampled adults participated in four groups. A thematic inductive approach was taken. RESULTS Participants (average age 45 years old; average time since MS diagnosis 13.7 years; 14 cisgender female, 1 transgender female, 5 cisgender male, 1 non-binary; 33 % white, 57 % black, 5 % Asian, 5 % other; 18 % Hispanic/Latinx; modal response of 5 SDOH) identified the following key SDOH: (1) race and ethnicity, related to (a) diagnostic delays in MS, (b) limited familiarity with MS and its etiology, and (c) value of ongoing MS care; (2) gender, focused on limited published data in African American men and transgender people; (3) social and community contexts; and (4) financial burdens, related to (a) out-of-pocket costs of MS disease modifying therapies, (b) lost work time, and (c) transportation. Lower frequency SDOH variables were access to public toilets, lost job promotions, environmental exposures, and concern about discrimination. Unmet needs emphasized (1) public understanding of MS; (2) financial support for DMT costs, closer access to infusion centers, and culturally competent care; (3) support for research participation; (4) reliable transportation; and (5) patient awareness of extant services and support programs. CONCLUSIONS This in-depth assessment of people with MS who possess multiple SDOH identified the most salient and commonly experienced SDOH, common themes related to the SDOH in MS, unmet needs, and future opportunities.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common non-traumatic cause of disability in young people, with vision loss in the disease representing the second largest contributor to disability. In particular, African-American patients with MS are noted to have lower vision than their Caucasian counterparts. In this review, we examine the disparities in eye diseases in the MS population with our gaps in knowledge and discuss the underlying nature of pathological disparities.

Abstract
Many medical organizations have begun to confront the longstanding problem of inequalities in health care delivery and the undeniable effect of disparities on health outcomes. The Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) recognizes that disparities affect the lives of many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and acknowledges the need to address this as an organization. The CMSC recently (1) appointed a task force, (2) conducted a survey of its membership, (3) commissioned this review article and call to action, and (4) formulated a mission statement on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), which was adopted by the CMSC's Board of Governors in March 2023. This paper summarizes recent literature on health care disparities in MS, particularly those relating to race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity. It presents findings from CMSC's survey of members' awareness of DEI issues, the need for education and resources for MS care providers, and existing institutional policies on DEI in the members' practice settings. It also presents the task force's recommendations for next steps, which includes the goal of greater diversity in the MS workforce of the future. The CMSC will continue to revisit DEI policies and practices over time with the goal of motivating greater awareness, momentum, and positive changes within the MS community.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Demographic characteristics, social determinants of health (SDoH), health inequities, and health disparities substantially influence the general and disease-specific health outcomes of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Participants in clinical trials do not represent all people with MS treated in practice. OBJECTIVE To provide recommendations for enhancing diversity and inclusion in clinical trials in MS. METHODS We held an international workshop under the Auspices of the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS (the "Committee") to develop recommendations regarding diversity and inclusivity of participants of clinical trials in MS. Workshop attendees included members of the Committee as well as external participants. External participants were selected based on expertise in trials, SDoH, health equity and regulatory science, and diversity with respect to gender, race, ethnicity, and geography. RESULTS Recommendations include use of diversity plans, community engagement and education, cultural competency training, biologically justified rather than templated eligibility criteria, adaptive designs that allow broadening of eligibility criteria over the course of a trial, and logistical and practical adjustments to reduce study participant burden. Investigators should report demographic and SDoH characteristics of participants. CONCLUSION These recommendations provide sponsors and investigators with methods of improving diversity and inclusivity of clinical trial populations in MS.

Abstract
Comorbid conditions commonly affect people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Population-based studies indicate that people with MS have an increased incidence of ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, and psychiatric disorders as compared to people without MS. People with MS from underrepresented minority and immigrant groups have higher comorbidity burdens. Comorbidities exert effects throughout the disease course, from symptom onset through diagnosis to the end of life. At the individual level, comorbidity is associated with higher relapse rates, greater physical and cognitive impairments, lower health-related quality of life, and increased mortality. At the level of the health system and society, comorbidity is associated with increased health care utilization, costs and work impairment. A nascent literature suggests that MS affects outcomes from comorbidities. Comorbidity management needs to be integrated into MS care, and this would be facilitated by determining optimal models of care.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article provides an update on progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) commonly referred to as primary progressive MS and secondary progressive MS. It discusses the importance of diagnosing and detecting progression early, the similarities between progressive forms, challenges in detecting progression, factors that could augment progression, and the importance of disease-modifying therapies in patients with evidence of active progressive MS. It also discusses the overall care of progressive MS. RECENT FINDINGS The pathogenesis of primary progressive MS and secondary progressive MS is overlapping, and in both presentations, patients with relapses or focal MRI activity are classified as having active, progressive MS. All currently approved disease-modifying therapies are indicated for active secondary progressive MS. The therapeutic opportunity of anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of progressive MS is enhanced in those who are younger and have a shorter disease duration. Vascular comorbidities may contribute to progression in MS. SUMMARY Several challenges remain in the diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment of progressive MS. Early identification of active progressive MS is needed to maximize treatment benefit. The advantages of optimal comorbidity management (eg, hypertension, hyperlipidemia) in delaying progression are uncertain. Clinical care guidelines for advanced, severe MS are lacking.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension adversely impacts the multiple sclerosis (MS) disease course and is more common among Black Americans. Disparities in care due to structural racism may lead to suboptimal hypertension detection and control in Black American MS patients. OBJECTIVES To determine if uncontrolled hypertension is more common in Black or White Americans with MS and whether race impacts the likelihood of receiving anti-hypertensive treatment. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted using longitudinal data from American participants in the Multiple Sclerosis Partners Advancing Technology and Health Solutions (MS PATHS) multi-institutional registry. Data was collected from 7 sites in the United States between May 2015 and November 2020. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension, defined as ≥2 blood pressure measurements ≥140/90 mmHg, were identified in the dataset. Racial differences in uncontrolled hypertension and odds of anti-hypertensive treatment were evaluated using logistic regression. Predictors of anti-hypertensive treatment in those with uncontrolled hypertension were determined by race. RESULTS The analysis included 10,673 MS patients, of whom 1,442 (13.5%) were Black Americans. Despite a lower mean age (45.7 vs. 49.2 years), Black Americans had a 31% increased odds of uncontrolled hypertension compared to White Americans. After adjustment for relevant covariates, mean systolic blood pressure was 1.84 mmHg (95% confidence interval=1.07-2.61) higher in Black Americans than White Americans, and mean diastolic blood pressure was 1.28 mmHg (95% confidence interval=0.74-1.82) higher. Black Americans were also more likely to be on anti-hypertensive therapy (OR=1.68, 95% confidence interval=1.30-2.18) and were exposed to an adjusted average of 0.61 (95% confidence interval=0.45-0.78) more anti-hypertensive treatments than White Americans (p<0.001). Age, comorbid diabetes mellitus, and comorbid hyperlipidemia were positively associated with use of anti-hypertensive treatments in all patients with uncontrolled hypertension. CONCLUSION Black American MS patients have significantly increased odds of uncontrolled hypertension, but also higher odds of receiving anti-hypertensive treatment.

Front Public Health 2022; 10:753861. [PMID: 35899158 PMCID: PMC9309719 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.753861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background According to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), countries are required to reduce the mortality rates of four main non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), and cancer (CA), by one-third in 2030 from the 2015 level. However, progress fell short of expectations, partly attributed to the high rates of hypertension-related NCD mortality. This study aimed to investigate the mortality trends of SDG-targeted NCDs with comorbid hypertension. In addition, the disparities in mortality rates among different demographic subgroups were further explored. Methods Mortality data from 2000 to 2019 were acquired from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States. SDG-targeted NCDs were considered the underlying causes of death, and hypertension was considered a multiple cause of death. Permutation tests were performed to determine the time points of Joinpoints for mortality trends. The annual percent changes and average annual percent changes (AAPCs), as well as 95% confidence intervals (CIs), were calculated to demonstrate the temporary trend of mortality rates overall and by age, sex, ethnicity, and region. Results The hypertension-related DM, CRD, and CA mortality rates increased over the 20 years, of which the AAPCs were 2.0% (95% CI: 1.4%, 2.6%), 3.2% (95% CI: 2.8%, 3.6%), and 2.1% (95% CI: 1.6%, 2.6%), respectively. Moreover, despite decreasing between 2005 and 2015, the hypertension-related CVD mortality rate increased from 2015 to 2019 [APC: 1.3% (95% CI: 0.7%, 1.9%)]. The increased trends were consistent across most age groups. Mortality rates among men were higher and increased faster than those among women. The hypertension-related CVD, DM, and CA mortality rates among African American people were higher than those among White people. The increased mortality rates in rural areas, especially in rural south, were higher than those in urban areas. Conclusion In the United States, the hypertension-related DM, CRD, and CA mortality rates increased between 2000 and 2019, as well as hypertension-related CVD mortality between 2015 and 2019. Disparities existed among different sexes, ethnicities, and areas. Actions to prevent and manage hypertension among patients with NCDs are required to reduce the high mortality rates and minimize disparities.
