Conclusions: Overall, in women, younger patients, those with shorter disease durations, and patients with pre-treatment relapses, natalizumab was associated with a lower frequency of multiple sclerosis relapses than fingolimod. It was also associated with an increased chance of recovery from disability among most patients, particularly women and those with no recent MRI activity.]]> Wed 31 May 2023 15:59:42 AEST ]]> Longitudinal machine learning modeling of MS patient trajectories improves predictions of disability progression https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45667 Wed 02 Nov 2022 15:59:08 AEDT ]]> Early non-disabling relapses are important predictors of disability accumulation in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51272 Tue 29 Aug 2023 15:42:42 AEST ]]> Multiple Sclerosis Relapses Following Cessation of Fingolimod https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53300 Tue 21 Nov 2023 12:02:22 AEDT ]]> Comparative effectiveness in multiple sclerosis: A methodological comparison https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51624 Tue 12 Sep 2023 14:37:58 AEST ]]> Disease Reactivation After Cessation of Disease-Modifying Therapy in Patients With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52249 Thu 05 Oct 2023 14:07:20 AEDT ]]> Confirmed disability progression as a marker of permanent disability in multiple sclerosis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52212 88% likely to be sustained (events with score ˃1.5). Conclusions: Clinicodemographic characteristics of 6-month confirmed disability progression events identify those at high risk of sustained long-term disability.

A greater EDSS was associated with age (β = 0.45 (per decade), p<0.001) and disease duration (β = 0.07 per year, p <0.001). A slower increase in EDSS was associated with azathioprine (β = -0.48, p <0.001), mycophenolate mofetil (β = -0.69, p = 0.04) and rituximab (β = -0.35, p = 0.024). Interpretation: This study has demonstrated that azathioprine and mycophenolate mofetil reduce the risk of relapses and disability progression is modified by azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil and rituximab. Age and disease duration were the only patient characteristics that modified the risk of relapse and disability in our cohort.]]> Mon 29 Mar 2021 13:09:59 AEDT ]]> Incidence of pregnancy and disease-modifying therapy exposure trends in women with multiple sclerosis: a contemporary cohort study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41847 p = 0.010); but no differences in spontaneous abortions, term or preterm births.
