AB  - OBJECTIVE: : Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSDs) are a group of 
      rare, inflammatory, demyelinating diseases that affect the central nervous 
      system. Neither the incidence nor the prevalence of NMOSD has been determined in 
      Slovakia thus far. The aim of this study was to determine both the incidence and 
      the prevalence of NMOSD in Slovakia using the 2015 International Panel of NMOSD 
      diagnosis (IPND) criteria. METHODS: : We performed a population-based study in 
      Slovakia to estimate both the incidence and the prevalence of NMOSD during the 
      period from 1 January 2006 through 31 December 2019. NMOSD cases were reported 
      from multiple sources and the diagnosis was subsequently verified using the IPND 
      criteria by a joint commitee of three neurologists. The prevalence is reported as 
      number of cases per 100,000 inhabitans and the incidence as number of new cases 
      per 1,000,000 person-years. Age-adjusted rates to the WHO standard population 
      2005-2025 were also calculated. RESULTS: : We identified 63 NMOSD cases. The 
      crude point-prevalence rate was 1.37 (95% CI 1.03-1.71) per 100,000 inhabitants. 
      The crude indidence rate was 0.88 (95% CI 0.65-1.12) per 1,000,000 person-years. 
      The age-adjusted point-prevalence rate was 1.42 (95% CI 1.07-1.84) per 100,000 
      persons and the age-adjusted incidence rate was 0.96 (95% CI 0.72-1.25) per 
      1,000,000 person-years. CONCLUSION: : The NMOSD epidemiological situation in 
      Slovakia is comparable to those reported from other Caucasian populations.
