Neuromyelitis optica practice and prescribing changes in the setting of Covid19: A survey of neurologists 2020-07-11 .txt text/plain 2987 149 47 PURPOSE: This study reports and analyzes the findings from the responses of 192 neurologists in the United States and Canada to a new survey instrument distributed in April 2020 to assess NMO practice and prescribing changes during the Covid19 pandemic. The objective of this study is to document the prescribing and treatment patterns of neurologists with expertise in NMO patient care during the Covid19 pandemic. Neurologists also indicated several unmet needs for their NMO patients, including improved testing for Covid19, more information on the risks of NMO treatment in this context, and increased telemedicine access. Neurologists across the United States and Canada believe that Covid19 poses a higher-thanbaseline risk of disease among their NMO patients, in part due to the immunosuppressive nature of most NMO treatments currently available and necessarily in use. ./cache/cord-267525-tg4uwent.txt ./txt/cord-267525-tg4uwent.txt
