- Early identification of patients with unfavorable outcomes in pediatric-onset Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is important for personalized treatment, and this study evaluates the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Index (NLI) and Monocyte-Lymphocyte Index (MLI) as potential biomarkers for predicting relapse and disease progression.
- A retrospective study involved 18 patients diagnosed with MS at a young age, analyzing their blood count metrics (NLI and MLI) and clinical data before treatment and 12 months later.
- Results showed that the relapsing group had higher NLI and MLI values compared to the non-relapsing group, and patients with new MRI lesions had elevated biomarker levels, but no significant correlations were found with clinical
