MSA is rapidly progressive and is associated with wheelchair dependence, unintelligible speech, intermittent urinary catheterization, disabling orthostatic hypotension, and cognitive impairment (executive dysfunction). Disease progression is assessed using the unified MSA rating scale (UMSARS), which rates activities of daily life, autonomic and motor impairment, as well as overall disability. Prognosis is poor with a median survival of 6-9 years.
