Improving disability (HR=0.62, p=0.039) and disease-modifying therapy exposure (HR=0.71, p=0.007) were associated with a lower risk. Recent cerebral magnetic resonance imaging activity, evidence of spinal cord lesions and oligoclonal bands in the cerebrospinal fluid were not associated with the risk of conversion. Conclusion:Risk of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis increases with age, duration of illness and worsening disability and decreases with improving disability. Therapy may delay the onset of secondary progression.]]> Wed 24 May 2023 12:22:34 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51272 Tue 29 Aug 2023 15:42:42 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51450 Tue 05 Sep 2023 17:56:18 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52212 88% likely to be sustained (events with score ˃1.5). Conclusions: Clinicodemographic characteristics of 6-month confirmed disability progression events identify those at high risk of sustained long-term disability. This knowledge will allow future trials to better assess the effect of therapy on long-term disability accrual.]]> Thu 05 Oct 2023 10:22:58 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51685 Fri 15 Sep 2023 09:36:29 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51340 Fri 01 Sep 2023 13:35:50 AEST ]]>
