Clinical predictors of the benign course of multiple sclerosis in a medically underserved population

Abstract

Benign multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by little disability accumulation over the disease course. The majority of contributions to understanding the predictors of benign MS come from high-income areas; it is unknown whether the same predictors can be derived from the resource-limited populations that have limited access to proper diagnostics and management. We aimed to study clinical predictors of benign MS in individuals with relapsing-remitting (RR) course coming from underserved areas.
