  1. RRMS 0–6: only costs for co-medications. Not included the costs for DMTs and other disease management costs (e.g., administration, monitoring, etc.) considered in other calculation sections of the model. EDSS: expanded disability status scale. RRMS: relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. SPMS: secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. Direct costs include only the healthcare direct costs. The non-healthcare direct costs were included among the indirect costs
