Of approximately 2,000 people with MS and COVID-19 in North America, 17.8% of non-ambulatory patients died, compared with 4.3% of MS patients who walked with assistance and 0.6% of patients who were fully ambulatory, reported Amber Salter, PhD, of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Findings came from COViMS, a registry supported by the Consortium of MS Centers, the National MS Society, and the MS Society of Canada. Healthcare professionals were asked to report patients with MS and other related diseases after a minimum of 7 days and sufficient time had passed to observe the COVID-19 disease course, Salter said.
