Predictive value of NEDA and brain atrophy in MS
October 9, 2015…ty had a significantly higher rate of subcortical grey-matter (GM) atrophy compared to healthy controls. Also important to long-term outcomes is the rate of brain volume loss, which is significantly higher in MS patients compared to age-matched controls. Accordingly, several authors have suggested a combined metric of NEDA + atrophy (NEDA-4) for predicting disability progression. The proposed cut-off value for percent brain volume change (PBVC) is…
