New insights into disability accrual in patients with secondary-progressive MS

At ECTRIMS 2018, Dr Nathaniel Lizak from the Clinical Outcomes Research (CORe) Unit at the University of Melbourne, Australia, presented the details of a study set up to evaluate factors influencing the rate of disability accumulation and progression in patients with SPMS.
