Defining high, medium and low impact prognostic factors for developing multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: The demographic and topographic characteristics are low-impact prognostic factors, the presence of oligoclonal bands is a medium- impact prognostic factor, and the number of lesions on brain magnetic resonance is a high-impact prediction factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do oligoclonal bands add information to MRI in first attacks of multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: Investigation of whether oligoclonal bands add information to MRI in predicting both a second attack and development of disability in patients with clinically isolated syndromes found that the presence of OB doubles the risk for having a secondattack, independently of MRI, but does not seem to influence the development of disabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Baseline MRI predicts future attacks and disability in clinically isolated syndromes.

TL;DR: Baseline MRI determines the risk for converting to clinically definite multiple sclerosis and correlates with disability at 5 years and the proportion of patients developing disability is low during the first 5 years but rapidly increases shortly after.
