Pre‐Diagnostic Features of Multiple Sclerosis in a Diverse <scp>UK</scp> Cohort: A Nested Case–Control Study
We report a consistent relationship between the occurrence of prodromal symptoms and MS risk across a diverse UK cohort. No associations were specific to a particular ethnic, gender or socio-economic group. These findings strengthen the concept of pre-diagnostic symptoms reflecting a potential opportunity to identify those at the earliest stages of MS.
