RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) impacts education, future career pathways and working capability and therefore may negatively impact the financial situation of persons with MS (pwMS) in Switzerland. We therefore investigated the financial situation and its influencing sociodemographic and disease-specific factors of pwMS compared to the general Swiss population with focus on material deprivation (MD). METHODS: Data on the financial situation of pwMS were collected via a specific questionnaire added to the regular, semi-annual follow-up assessments of the Swiss Multiple Sclerosis Registry. Questions were taken in an unmodified format from the standardized "Statistics on Income and Living Conditions" (SILC) questionnaire 2019 of the Federal Statistical Office of Switzerland which evaluates the financial situation of the general Swiss population, enabling a direct comparison of pwMS with the general Swiss population. RESULTS: PwMS were 1.5 times more frequently affected by MD than the general Swiss population (6.3% of pwMS versus 4.2% of the general Swiss population) which was confirmed in a multivariable logistic regression analysis of pooled SILC and Swiss Multiple Sclerosis Registry (SMSR) data. High symptom burden, having only mandatory schooling, well as having a pending disability insurance application (as opposed to no application or receiving benefits) were associated with a higher odds of MD whereas higher education, older age, having a Swiss citizenship, living with a spouse or a partner or being currently employed were independently associated with a lower odds of MD. CONCLUSION: MS has a negative impact on the financial situation and is associated with MD. PwMS with a high symptom burden at the transition from work force to receiving disability benefits appeared to be vulnerable for MD. Higher education, older age, having a Swiss citizenship, living with a spouse or a partner or being currently employed were independently associated with a lower odds of MD.
