Paediatric-onset multiple sclerosis: demographics, symptoms and disease progression
This largest and longest follow-up study of POMS to date revealed that women are more likely to develop MS at younger ages and experience different symptoms than men. Patients with POMS tend to have higher relapse rates but may recover more quickly from relapses and experience a more stable disease course later in life.
