Review pinpoints predictors of disability in paediatric MS

Children with pyramidal, visual and cerebellar symptoms in the first year of MS onset are up to 31% more likely to experience more severe future disability, Australian-led neurologists report.
Older age at paediatric-onset disease and higher Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score, also predict faster disability worsening in this setting, results from their registry study show.
