Overview

Natural History

Complications

Prognosis

there are some factors associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with multiple sclerosis but We can’t surly say what is the prognosis of MS patients.[1]

Relapsing versus progressive disease

Progressive form of MS seems to have worse prognosis in comparison to relapsing remitting form of MS. Disabilities start sooner in progressive form[2][3][4] but some studies showed that age of onset is more important in MS disability than the form of the disease.[5][6]

Early symptoms

Some first manifestations of MS disease like bowel and bladder dysfunction, seems to have a worse prognosis.[7]. Another study demonstrated that having so many symptoms at the onset of the disease have a worse prognosis than being monosymptom.[8]

Demographics

Onset of MS in Black Americans is in later age and they are more susceptible of having multifocal signs and symptoms and involvement of optic nerve and spinal cord.[9]

Sex

Women seems to have younger age of onset and so better prognosis than men.[2]

Smoking

Transition of RRMS to SPMS can be accelerated with smoking.[10]
