Epidemiology of Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis in Chile
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neuroinflammatory disease, yet comprehensive, nationwide epidemiologic data from Chile remain scarce. We aim to estimate the national incidence and prevalence of administratively identified relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) in Chile from 2010 to 2023, characterize demographic patterns, and quantify disparities across the nation's segmented public and private health care systems.
