Validating predictors of disease progression in a large cohort of primary-progressive multiple sclerosis based on a systematic literature review.

<h4>Background</h4>New agents with neuroprotective or neuroregenerative potential might be explored in primary-progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS)--the MS disease course with leading neurodegenerative pathology. Identification of patients with a high short-term risk for progression may...
