New research on multiple sclerosis in NZ - a recent NZ Medical Journal article co-authored by iNZight's Andrew Sporle

A recent issue of the New Zealand Medal Journal features new work from iNZight Analytics' disability and research methods portfolios.

The article, Identifying multiple sclerosis in linked administrative health data in Aotearoa New Zealand, outlines new ways to use existing data resources to examine health service use and health outcomes for individuals with chronic disease, using multiple sclerosis (MS) as an example.

The impacts of chronic health conditions, such as MS, are often under-estimated due the complexities of using routine health data and the lack of specific focused research. Led by Dr Natalia Boven from CoMPASS Research Group with co-authors including iNZight's Andrew Sporle, this project has created permanent improvements to methods for analysing outcomes and service use for those with chronic conditions like MS.
