New Multiple Sclerosis Disease Severity Scale Predicts Future Accumulation of Disability
The search for the genetic foundation of multiple sclerosis (MS) severity remains elusive. It is, in fact, controversial whether MS severity is a stable feature that predicts future disability progression.

متن کاملAge and disability accumulation in multiple sclerosis.
OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis that age is a prognostic factor with respect to long-term accumulation of disability in multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS Kaplan-Meier analysis and binary logistic regression models determined the effect of age at disease onset, age at onset of progression, and current age on attainment of severe disability levels (Disability Status Scale [DSS] 6-8-10) from ...
متن کاملPsychometric Properties of Fatigue Severity Scale in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis

متن کاملDisability identity predicts lower anxiety and depression in multiple sclerosis.
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE Disability identity involves affirming one's status as a person with a disability and incorporating this group membership into one's identity. It is associated with well-being in populations of people with disabilities, but its relationship with depression and anxiety in multiple sclerosis (MS) has yet to be examined. It was hypothesized that disability identity would predict ...
متن کاملImpairment, disability and fatigue in multiple sclerosis
Background: Identifying the predictors of pain is important for both health professionals and researchers, because pain has repeatedly been found to be a strong predictor of activity limitations and participation restrictions. The objective of this study was to determine the predictors of pain presence and severity in a large, well-designed sample of community dwelling individuals with multip...
