MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS DEATH RATES FROM UNDERLYING CAUSE AND TOTAL DEATHS
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 1972Age- and sex-specific death rates from multiple sclerosis were calculated both from all conditions coded and from those coded as underlying or primary cause of death for the United States by color for 1955, and for Denmark (1963–68) and Norway (1956–60).
