Population-specific proportion male.

Cohort characteristics Base case input Source
Spinal cord injury 80% National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Centre (2011) [6].
Multiple sclerosis 30% Mahajan et al. (2013) [7] ~ This estimate was derived based on information on characteristics of the average person with MS, combined with data on catheter usage. 24.6% of respondents were male, but catheter use was more prevalent in men compared with women (31.5% compared with 24.2%).
So it can be estimated that 7.75% of MS patients are male and use a catheter, compared with 18.25% of MS patients being female and using a catheter. Therefore there is an estimated ratio of 0.3 male catheter users with MS: 0.7 female catheter users with MS.
