RWD99 The Clinical Burden of Friedreich Ataxia: A Retrospective Claims Analysis in the United States

Friedreich Ataxia (FA) is a progressive and systemic neuromuscular disease characterized by worsening ataxia, scoliosis, and loss of ambulation (LOA). Cardiomyopathy and diabetes are common and serious comorbidities of FA. This study aimed to characterize and quantify the clinical burden of FA, compared to a non-FA cohort, using a retrospective United States (US) claims analysis.
