Time between expanded disability status scale (EDSS) scores

Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders, 2019
Although the expanded disability status scale (EDSS) is the most commonly used measure of disability for multiple sclerosis, measurement of disability accumulation is complex due to the unequal steps of the scale.To estimate the time between EDSS scores in a large MS cohort from a single center and determine the impact of functional system scores on ...

Can the Expanded Disability Status Scale be assessed by telephone?

Multiple Sclerosis Journal, 2003
Information from patients who are unable to continue their visits to a study centre may be of major importance for the interpretatio n of results in multiple sclerosis (MS) clinical trials. To validate a questionnaire based on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), patients in five different European centres were assessed independently by pairs ...

Disability weight for each level of the Expanded Disability Status Scale in multiple sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis Journal, 2014
Background: The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is the most widely employed ordinal disability scale in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, how far apart the individual EDSS levels are along the disability spectrum has not been formally quantified. Objectives: The objective of this paper is to generate refined disability weights (DWs) for each of

Responsiveness of the Multiple Sclerosis Impairment Scale in comparison with the Expanded Disability Status Scale

Multiple Sclerosis Journal, 2005
The Multiple Sclerosis Impairment Scale (MSIS) is a measure of accumulated deficits assessed by means of a standard neurological examination. We compared the responsiveness of the MSIS with that of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). We reviewed 4300 records collected systematically from 1995 to 2003 and identified 534 patients who had ...

Expanded disability status scale by phone BR: Brazilian Portuguese validation

Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders
The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is widely used and accepted by regulatory agencies for the assessment of neurological disability secondary to Multiple Sclerosis. The "Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) by phone" was developed to be a patient-reported telephone-based alternative for the assessment of EDSS functional system scores when a

Evaluation of an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) modeling strategy in multiple sclerosis

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 2015
The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is the most widely used scale to evaluate the degree of neurological impairment in multiple sclerosis (MS). In this paper, we report on the evaluation of an EDSS modeling strategy based on recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) of posturographic data (i.e., center of pressure, COP).

Effect of Rituximab on Expanded Disability Status Scale and Relapse Rate in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Journal of Molecular Neuroscience, 2020
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of rituximab, a monoclonal antibody that depletes circulating CD20+ B lymphocytes, in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients with inadequate response to disease-modifying therapies.

Factors related to agreement between self-reported and conventional Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores

Multiple Sclerosis, 2001
Background: Although the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) remains a widely used scale for evaluating impairments in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), EDSS assessments are infeasible in certain situations. A self-administered version of the EDSS would be potentially usefulif it yielded similar results as the conventional physician-based ...

Nurse led telephone assessment of expanded disability status scale assessment in MS patients at high levels of disability

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2016
In clinical trials drop out bias reduces the validity of results. This is a particular problem in long-term multiple sclerosis (MS) studies, particularly when patients become progressively disabled and have increasing difficulty attending assessment clinics.To assess the validity of nurse led telephone assessment of Expanded Disability Status Scale ...

Comparison of the Kurtkze Expanded Disability Status Scale and the Functional Independence Measure: measures of multiple sclerosis-related disability

Disability and Rehabilitation, 2013
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease which has a variable clinical presentation followed by a variable clinical course. Therefore, accuracy of clinical rating scales to measure disability at initial clinical presentation and during follow-up visits is essential to accurately capture the variability inherent in this disease.
