"Our first studies [helped us] understand the predictive ability of [ #PROs] in terms of #MultipleSclerosis, and we have seen that patients typically report negative physical outcomes…decreases in physical limitation but mostly stable psychosocial responses." www.ijmsc.org/view/ijmsc-a...
"...the aim of this study is to determine the relationship between #mood and #HRQOL and [social-care related] #QOL among patients with advanced #MultipleSclerosis. First, we examine the association between HRQOL and SCRQOL. Second, we assess whether mood is associated...."
