该项目将利用斯旺西大学医学院充满活力的世界领先的数据科学和健康信息学研究环境。它将使用MS Register中丰富的自我报告和临床数据集，以及SAIL世界领先的去识别个人医疗记录数据库来解决这一差距。研究将集中在以下几个问题上：1。患者的社会经济、教育和人口因素是否影响MS患者的决策（诊断、转诊和治疗）和医疗保健旅程？如果有，那是怎么回事？是否有可能确定可用于改善向MS患者提供的护理的策略？这些信息可以用来帮助医生、其他医疗保健专业人员和个人做出更好的决定吗？该研究将采用混合方法（嵌入式）研究设计，定量数据分析侧重于MS注册表，以及两个重点。

This project will make use of the vibrant world-leading research environment of the data sciences and health informatics at Swansea University Medical School. It will use rich self-reported and clinical datasets in the MS Register, along with SAIL's world-leading databank of de-identified individual healthcare records to address this gap. The study will focus on the following questions:1. Do patients' socioeconomic, educational and demographic factors impact decision-making (diagnosis, referral and treatment) and healthcare journeys of people with MS? If so how?2. Is it possible to identify strategies that can be used to improve the care provided to people living with MS? Can that information be used to help doctors, other healthcare professionals and individuals to make better decisions?The study will adopt a mixed-methods (embedded) study design with a quantitative data analysis focus on the MS registry, and two focus.
