Patient-reported outcomes in multiple sclerosis: a prospective registry cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Registries have the potential to tackle some of the current limitations in determining the long-term impact of multiple sclerosis. Online assessments using patient-reported outcomes can streamline follow-up enabling large-scale, long-term, cost-effective, home-based, and patient-focused data collection. However, registry data are sparsely sampled and the sensitivity of patient-reported outcomes relative to clinician-reported scales is unknown, making it hard to fully leverage their unique scope and scale to derive insights.

Primary outcomes were changes in two patient-reported outcomes: Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale motor com
