Health and quality of life in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis: making the intangible tangible  Howard Zwibel  Journal of the Neurological Sciences  Volume 287, Pages S11-S16 (December 2009) DOI: 10.1016/S0022-510X(09)71295-X Copyright © 2009 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

Fig. 2 Proportion of multiple sclerosis treated with glatiramer acetate reaching three EDSS thresholds after ten years. Light blue: all patients (mITT population); dark blue: patients continuously taking glatiramer acetate for ten years (Ongoing population); grey: patients who had discontinued glatiramer acetate at long term follow-up (Withdrawn with LTFU population). Data are taken from Ford et al. [11]. Journal of the Neurological Sciences 2009 287, S11-S16DOI: (10.1016/S0022-510X(09)71295-X) Copyright © 2009 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

Fig. 3 Work time loss vs. untreated patients for the 12 months that included the diagnosis of MS. White: interferon-β 1a im; grey: interferon-β 1b sc; black: glatiramer acetate. Data are taken from Lage et al. [22]. Short-term disability refers to extended time (e.g. >7 consecutive days) missed from work for non-work-related illness or injury when an official insurance claim was issued. Worker's compensation refers to time missed from work for work-related illness or injury when an official insurance claim was issued. Absenteeism refers to time missed from work for any reason other than Short-Term Disability and Worker's Compensation, including occasional sick days and vacation.
