Demographic and Geographic Trends in Myasthenia Gravis–Related Mortality in the United States, 1999–2022
The rising MGRM over the 23-year period is concerning and warrants investigation into the underlying causes for this trend. This increase was most prominent in older and male individuals. The growing burden of MG in the United States and globally might pose a serious challenge to health care in the future. Limitations of this study include reliance on ICD codes. Future work needs to take these trends and disparities into consideration and focus on improving MGRM.
