Background and purpose: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent neurological disability in young adults. This study aimed at reporting MS registry in Kermanshah province, Iran 2018.
Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, demographic and clinical characteristics of 353 patients were recorded in MS registry. Data analysis was done in SPSS V25.
Results: Patients aged 18-62 years, including 80% females (mean age: 36.1 years) and 20% males (mean age: 37.9 years). Almost 45% were born between 1981 and 1991. Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) was seen in 72%. Visual symptoms were initial signs of the disease in 37% of the patients. The mean age of onset of the disease was found to be high in patients with primary progressive MS (PPMS) and low in those with progressive-relapsing MS (PRMS). Among the patients, 87% were able to walk at least 100 meters.
