We assess current practice patterns of US neurologists in patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), and radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) using case-based surveys. For CIS, 87% recommended initiation of disease-modifying therapy (DMT) with MRI brain lesions. An injectable DMT was recommended by 90%-98% for treatment-naive, mild RRMS patients. There was 97% consensus to treat highly active RRMS, but no consensus on therapy choice. With RIS, there was consensus not to initiate treatment with brain but no spinal MRI lesions. Current US treatment patterns emphasize MRI in MS diagnosis and subsequent treatment decisions, treatment of early disease, aggressive initial treatment of highly active MS, and close patient monitoring.
我们通过基于病例的调查评估了美国神经科医生对临床孤立综合征(CIS)、复发缓解型多发性硬化症(RRMS)和放射学孤立综合征(RIS)患者的当前治疗模式。对于CIS,87%的医生建议在脑部出现MRI病变时开始使用疾病修正治疗(DMT)。对于未接受过治疗的轻度RRMS患者,90%-98%的医生推荐使用注射用DMT。对于高度活跃的RRMS患者,97%的医生达成了治疗共识,但在治疗方案选择上没有达成共识。对于RIS,在脑部无病变但脊髓有MRI病变的情况下,医生们达成了不开始治疗的共识。美国目前的治疗模式强调在MS诊断和后续治疗决策中使用MRI、早期疾病的治疗、对高度活跃MS的积极初始治疗以及对患者的密切监测。
