A Validated Model to Predict Severe Weight Loss in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
ABSTRACT Severe weight loss in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is common, multifactorial, and associated with shortened survival. Using longitudinal weight data from over 6000 patients with ALS across three cohorts, we built an accelerated failure time model to predict the risk of future severe (≥ 10%) weight loss using five single‐timepoint ...

Real‐World Comparison of High‐Efficacy Versus Non‐High‐Efficacy Therapies in Multiple Sclerosis
ABSTRACT Objective The choice of the first disease modifying treatment (DMT) in multiple sclerosis (MS) is a topic of great interest, and whether high‐efficacy DMTs should be the first choice remains debated. We compared treatment outcomes (no evidence of disease activity [NEDA] and its components) between treatment‐naïve relapsing–remitting MS (RRMS ...

Association of the ICH Score With Withdrawal of Life‐Sustaining Treatment Over a 10‐Year Period
ABSTRACT Objective The intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) score was developed to enhance provider communication and facilitate early severity assessment. We examined the association of the ICH score with mortality and withdrawal of life‐sustaining treatment (WLST) in a large, multicenter stroke registry, and evaluated temporal trends in these associations.
