Real‐World Performance of CSF Kappa Free Light Chains in the 2024 McDonald Criteria
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Kappa free light chains (KFLCs) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) have a similar performance to CSF‐restricted oligoclonal bands (OCB) for multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis. To help with implementation, we set out to resolve several remaining uncertainties: (1) performance in a real‐world cohort and the 2024 McDonald criteria; (2 ...

Applying an Ethical Lens to the Treatment of People With Multiple Sclerosis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The practice of neurology requires an understanding of clinical ethics for decision‐making. In multiple sclerosis (MS) care, there are a wide range of ethical considerations that may arise. These involve shared decision‐making around selection of a disease‐modifying therapy (DMT), risks and benefits of well‐studied medications in comparison to

Effects of Biological Sex and Age on Cerebrospinal Fluid Markers—A Retrospective Observational Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is a key diagnostic tool for neurological diseases. To date, only a few studies have investigated in larger cohorts the effect of age and biological sex on diagnostic markers extracted from CSF. Methods For this retrospective observational study, 4163 CSF findings (2012–2020) were evaluated.
