Healthcare resource utilization, total costs, and comorbidities among patients with myotonic dystrophy using U.S. insurance claims data from 2012 to 2019

This study is among the first to utilize claims data to increase understanding of the clinical experience and health economic outcomes associated with DM. The markedly elevated HCRU patterns and comorbidity profile presented here add to the broad body of scientific and clinical knowledge on DM. These insights can inform clinical care and support the development of disease modifying and/or symptom-targeting therapies that address the multi-systemic, progressive nature of DM.
