Article Synopsis
  • The study compares disability progression in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients based on age of onset: pediatric (POMS), adult (AOMS), and late-onset (LOMS), as well as those with and without progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA).
  • Data from 3,777 MS patients revealed that AOMS showed significant disability increases compared to POMS starting in the second year, with POMS having a less steep disability trajectory over time.
  • The findings underscore that younger patients with MS experience different disability progression patterns than older patients, highlighting the importance of age in MS disease management.

Recent studies have revealed increasingly worse and more complex mental health conditions in young people, which is reflected in a growing trend in emergency room (ER) visits for acute psychopathological symptoms (APSs). This phenomenon has become exacerbated in recent decades, with a peak in the post-pandemic period. To better characterize the phenomenon, we investigated the change in the rate and type of ER counseling requests provided at the Child Neuropsychiatry Unit of the University Hospital of Bari, Italy over the period between 2019 and 2023 for subjects younger than 18 years old.
