Objectives: Evaluate web-based patient-reported outcome (wbPRO) collection in MS subjects in terms of feasibility, reliability, adherence, and subject-perceived benefits; and quantify the impact of MS-related symptoms on perceived well-being. Methods: Thirty-one subjects with MS completed wbPROs targeting MS-related symptoms over six months using a customized web portal. Demographics and clinical outcomes were collected in person at baseline and six months. Results: Approximately 87% of subjects completed wbPROs without assistance, and wbPROs strongly correlated with standard PROs (r>0.91). All wbPROs were completed less frequently in the second three months (p < 0.05). Frequent wbPRO completion was significantly correlated with higher step on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) (p = 0.026). Nearly 52% of subjects reported improved understanding of their disease, and approximately 16% wanted individualized wbPRO content. Over half ( 63.9%) of perceived well-being variance was explained by MS symptoms, notably depression (r(s) = -0.459), fatigue (r(s) = -0.390), and pain (r(s) = -0.389). Conclusions: wbPRO collection was feasible and reliable. More disabled subjects had higher completion rates, yet most subjects failed requirements in the second three months. Remote monitoring has potential to improve patient-centered care and communication between patient and provider, but tailored PRO content and other innovations are needed to combat declining adherence.
