The incidence and prevalence of multiple sclerosis in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1960–1984
Abstract A study of the incidence and prevalence of multiple sclerosis on the island of Newfoundland between 1960 and 1984 has yielded a current overall prevalence rate of 55.2 per 100,000, but wide variation is noted in the rates for different parts of the island (range, 15.9 to 105.0 per 100,000)....
