Judicious diagnosis and early treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) can significantly improve long-term disability outcomes. A retrospective analysis based on 25 years of data showed that changes in diagnostic criteria can shorten the time between symptom onset and MS diagnosis. Further improvements and implementation of MS diagnostic criteria may reduce the diagnosis lag.
Judicious multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis and early start of disease modifying therapy significantly improves long-term disability outcomes in persons with MS (pwMS). Retrospective analysis based on 25-year New York State MS Consortium (NYSMSC) data determined the effect of changes in the respective diagnostic criteria in shortening the time between symptom onset to MS diagnosis. Based on 9378 current and historical MS cases, there was a significant decrease in time to diagnosis in pwMS from 1982-2001 to >2017 periods (average 4.2 vs. 1.1 years, p < 0.001). Additional improvements and better implementation of the MS diagnostic criteria can further decrease the diagnosis lag.
