A clinico-pathoanatomical study of multiple sclerosis diagnosis.

abstract：:We tested the validity of a self-administered version of the minimal record of disability (MRD) for multiple sclerosis (MS) by measuring the agreement level between patients' self-assessment and neurologists' independent ratings. 96 MS patients and 4 neurologists took part in the experiment; the agreement level was me...
