Takeaway
In patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), severe course of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was associated with certain demographic/clinical risk factors, such as being older or male, and ocrelizumab and rituximab medication.
Why this matters
COVID-19 has a major impact on health, including in people with MS.
Examining the risk factors of COVID-19 severity, epidemiological factors and use of disease modifying therapies (DMTs), is required to further understand its influence on MS.
