Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease and relapse risk: Effects of smoking and vascular risk factors

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate how smoking and vascular risk factors affect relapse rates in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD).
• Compared relapse rates among current, past, and never smokers
• Analyzed the association of vascular risk factors with relapse risk
• Relapse rates were doubled in current smokers compared to never smokers
• Past smokers did not show a significant difference in relapse rates from never smokers
• Vascular risk factors did not show an association with relapse risk
