MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS DEATH RATES FROM UNDERLYING CAUSE AND TOTAL DEATHS

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 1972
Age- 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). Primary-cause death rates for the United States (1959–61) were also assessed.
