Diagnostic delay and misdiagnosis of symptoms reported by patients with multiple sclerosis participating in a research registry
Diagnostic delay was prevalent and associated with frequent misdiagnosis of initial symptoms of MS and earlier unevaluated symptoms later attributed to MS. Studies tracing the diagnostic journey of patients with MS are needed to understand and prevent causes of diagnostic delay.
