Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a complex and fatal neurodegenerative movement disorder. Understanding the comorbidities and drug therapy is crucial for MSA patients' safety and management. OBJECTIVES To investigate the pattern of comorbidities and aspects of drug therapy in MSA patients. METHODS Cross-sectional data of MSA patients according to Gilman et al. (2008) diagnostic criteria and control patients without neurodegenerative diseases (non-ND) were collected from German, multicenter cohorts. The prevalence of comorbidities according to WHO ICD-10 classification and drugs administered according to WHO ATC system were analyzed. Potential drug-drug interactions were identified using AiDKlinik®. RESULTS The analysis included 254 MSA and 363 age- and sex-matched non-ND control patients. MSA patients exhibited a significantly higher burden of comorbidities, in particular diseases of the genitourinary system. Also, more medications were prescribed MSA patients, resulting in a higher prevalence of polypharmacy. Importantly, the risk of potential drug-drug interactions, including severe interactions and contraindicated combinations, was elevated in MSA patients. When comparing MSA-P and MSA-C subtypes, MSA-P patients suffered more frequently from diseases of the genitourinary system and diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue. CONCLUSIONS MSA patients face a substantial burden of comorbidities, notably in the genitourinary system. This, coupled with increased polypharmacy and potential drug interactions, highlights the complexity of managing MSA patients. Clinicians should carefully consider these factors when devising treatment strategies for MSA patients.

Reliability of the unified multiple system atrophy rating scale using the telephone. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2024; 237:108147. [PMID: 38325040 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2024.108147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The unified multiple system atrophy rating scale (UMSARS) was used to evaluate various symptoms of multiple system atrophy (MSA). And UMSARS part 1 was originally developed for use in interviews, but the need for telemedicine is increasing in COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reliability of the UMSARS part 1 telephone survey. METHODS Thirty-two MSA patients took the UMSARS part 1 face-to-face, followed by two more telephone evaluations. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha (α) coefficients were calculated, and the inter-rater reliability was determined. At the same time, we asked about the problems in COVID-19 pandemic. RESULTS The study participants included 15 men and 17 women with mean age of 67.1 years (SD, 8.3). For the total UMSARS part 1 score, the inter-rater ICC and Cronbach's α coefficient were 0.89 to 0.92, and 0.84 to 0.87, respectively. More than half of the items had a relatively high ICC. Cronbach's α coefficients were more than 0.7 for all items. Changes that occurred in COVID-19 pandemic included reduced outings and lack of rehabilitation in about half of the cases. CONCLUSION The UMSARS part 1 has high inter-rater reliability and internal consistency. Evaluation of subjective symptoms showed that some variability could occur. In addition, there was concern about the influence of lack of rehabilitation due to COVID-19 pandemic.
