ABSTRACT
We compared the prognosis of Tibetan and Han Chinese patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score at each attack, response to immunosuppressive therapy, risk of first relapse, severe attack, visual disability, motor disability, and total risk of disability were compared between Tibetan and Han Chinese patients. Tibetan patients showed higher EDSS during acute attacks. Annualized relapse rate did not differ between groups. Risk of severe attack, visual disability, and total risk of disability were higher in Tibetan patients. Tibetan patients with NMOSD have a higher risk of poor prognosis than Han Chinese patients.
