"Of note, SPMS and transitioning patients were affected more by disease symptoms, compared to RRMS patients. The most pronounced differences between RRMS and SPMS patients were in motor/ambulatory symptoms (35% vs. 94%), and balance/coordination (31% vs. 89%); followed by cognitive symptoms (18% vs. 66%), and bowel and bladder symptoms (20% vs. 65%).
Based on the results, the team concluded that “the SPMS screening tool was able to differentiate between RRMS and SPMS patients with high sensitivity and specificity, and thus also identify patients in transition.”
