Natural Course of Clinically Isolated Syndrome: A Longitudinal Analysis Using a Markov Model

Abstract Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) refers to the initial clinical episode with symptoms suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS). Due to limited number of long-term follow-up studies, progression pattern from CIS to more advanced stages remains unclear. In the current study, we constructed a M...
