Clinical and socio-demographic characteristics of people with multiple sclerosis at the time of diagnosis: Influences on outcome trajectories
MS care must be personalised from diagnosis; service design should account for those people with MS experiencing poor health status from diagnosis. Basing capacity planning on average trajectories would be misleading. Furthermore, this evidence shows that service provision to support symptom management and disability clearly needs to be resourced from the diagnostic year.
