Prediction of the rate of progression for an individual with multiple sclerosis (MS) is a difficult task due to the significant intrapersonal and interpersonal variability in the rate of change of disability. The most commonly used measure of disability is the expanded disability status score (EDSS...
Ad By current definition, people with benign MS are those who remain "fully functional" after 15 or more years from disease onset. However, people with benign MS occasionally develop renewed disease activity or progression, and can experience severe symptoms. For the study, researchers looked at ...

To the best of our knowledge, this work uses the most complete patient history for MS disease progression prediction. The structure of this paper is as follows. Section 2 presents related work that uses real-world patient trajectories, with an emphasis on MS. Sections 3.1 and 3.2 provide a ...

A genotype influence on disease outcome measures by these genes would support a role of these pathways in ongoing tissue damage. Here, however, we report a consistent dissociation between causation and progression for five non-HLA genotypes ( IL7R, IL2RA, CLEC16A, CD226 and SH2B3) in 1776 ...

While there is no cure for MS, there are "disease-modifying drugs" that can reduce the frequency and severity of MS attacks. Use can result in less damage to the brain and spinal cord over time, slowing the progression of disability. When an attack does occur, high-dose corticosteroids can...
which is characterized by steady disease progression from the time of onset, without relapse-remission cycles. PRMS is a rare form of the disease, occurring in less than 5 percent of MS patients. This type is distinguished from other forms of MS by its steady worsening of symptoms from the ...
Multiple sclerosis attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. What are the early signs, and how can you slow progression of this disease? Secondary Symptoms Primary MS symptoms like tiredness and trouble walking or emptying your bladder happen because of nerve damage. They can lead to ...
