Expanded disability status scale progression assessment heterogeneity in multiple sclerosis according to geographical areas [PDF]
Using placebo data from 3 randomized multiple sclerosis (MS) trials with uniform inclusion criteria, we investigated heterogeneity of Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) progression by geographical areas. Our analysis revealed a significantly lower EDSS progression in Eastern European countries (10.8%) compared with Western Europe (13.1%) or the ...

MRI in multiple sclerosis: correlation with expanded disability status scale (EDSS)
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is very sensitive in showing disseminated MS lesions. Subclinical MR progression occurs frequently, explaining why MR is now used to monitor treatment, even without measurable consequences, of new MR lesions to the patient at this moment. In the light of this clinico-radiological paradox, the significance of MR in MS is

The effect of fatigability on expanded disability status scale components in multiple sclerosis [PDF]
Introduction. The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is the most widely used disability measure in multiple sclerosis (MS). The effect of fatigability on EDSS components has been underreported to date.

Historical and Clinical Perspectives of the Expanded Disability Status Scale [PDF]
<i>Background:</i> The measurement of neurologic impairment in multiple sclerosis (MS) is of importance in treatment trials and course of illness. <i>Methods:</i> This review describes the rationale underlying the formation and use of a bifid rating system, the (Expanded) Disability Status Scale (DSS) and the Functional Systems (

Integration of the expanded disability status scale with ambulation, visual and cognitive tests. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is usually calculated through a neurological examination with self-reported performance. This may lead to incorrect assessment of Functional System scores (FSs).

Expanded disability status scale in Multiple Sclerosis: Relationship to visual evoked potential
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) prevalence in Iraq is 11.73/100,000 it causes disability in younger adults. Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) can monitor MS disability while Visually Evoked Potentials (VEP) serves as a marker of myelination.
