ECTRIMS 2016: Young MS Investigators’ Research
The session featured a study comparing MRI criteria for diagnosing MS, the role of spinal cord volume loss in predicting disease activity, and more.
Studies from the Young Scientific Investigators’ Session 1 presented at ECTRIMS 2016 (Sept 14, 2016) in London highlighted recent multiple sclerosis research. The following slides include a study comparing MRI criteria for diagnosing MS and the role of cortical lesions, a look at the impact of cognitive impairment on patients’ income, and an investigation of whether or not spinal cord volume loss can predict disease activity and disability.

Comparison of MRI criteria for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis: role of cortical lesions
The authors compared different sets of imaging criteria for the development of MS.
Role of cortical lesions in MS diagnosis - conclusion
Income and cognitive impairment among multiple sclerosis patients
Cognitive impairment prevalence in MS is 40 to 70%.
Income and cognitive impairment in MS patients - conclusion
Spinal cord volume loss predicts disease activity and disability over time in multiple sclerosis
Do spinal cord volume changes predict disease changes in relapsing-remitting and secondary-progressive MS?
MS disease activity and disability related to spinal cord volume loss - results
Conclusion - MS disease activity and disability related to spinal cord volume loss
