Cognitive dysfunction in early-onset multiple sclerosis: a reappraisal after 10 years.
TL;DR: In a cohort of patients with early-onset multiple sclerosis, the long-term evolution of cognitive deficits, their relationship to the disease's clinical progression, and their effects on daily life are reassessed.

Quality of life in multiple sclerosis: the impact of depression, fatigue and disability
TL;DR: Depression, fatigue and disability level were confirmed to be significant and independent predictors of quality of life and their main clinical and demographical determinants in a clinical series of 103 patients with multiple sclerosis.

A prospective study on the natural history of multiple sclerosis: clues to the conduct and interpretation of clinical trials.
TL;DR: An initially progressive course and higher basal EDSS scores proved to be the best predictors of unfavorable prognosis; a greater number of functional systems involved at onset as well as higher residual deficits in pyramidal, visual, sphincteric and cerebellar systems were other factors predictive of a poor outcome, whereas sensory system involvement turned out to be favorable.

Maria Pia Amato,G. Ponziani +1 more
TL;DR: Improvements in scales of impairment in the future is likely to result from the use of more quantitative tests of selected components of the neurological examination, including measures of ambulation, arm function and cognitive function.
