N2 - The mortality rates of individuals with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD) are currently unknown. This study aimed to assess the mortality rate in a large cohort of patients with MOGAD. Since none of the patients in our cohort died, we estimated the upper limit of a 95% confidence interval of the crude mortality rate in the cohort to be 2.1%. These data suggest that mortality in MOGAD is lower than that reported in other neuroinflammatory diseases and comparable to the age-adjusted mortality rates of the general population in the United States. Additional studies are warranted to confirm this observation.
