Objective: To evaluate disability and prognosis in an untreated population-based incidence cohort of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Methods: The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score was recorded in 220 MS patients. Disease progression was assessed by life table analysis with different endpoints and multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed for evaluation of prognostic factors. Results: The probability of being alive after 15 years was 94.8+1.8% (s.e.), of managing without a…

It is confirmed that the age at onset and the number of MS attacks during the first 2 years of MS are predictors of the evolution of the disability and the importance of using time-dependent covariates is demonstrated.

From clinical onset, rate of progression was faster in the PP- multiple sclerosis group than in the secondary progressive (SP)-multiple sclerosis group, and when the rates of progression from onset of the progressive phase to DSS 6, 8 and 10 were compared, SP-multiple sclerosis had a more rapid progressive phase.
