Correlation between blood biomarkers and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of depression and mental health scores in individuals with multiple sclerosis (iwMS)

Key Points

• Mental health scores significantly correlate with specific blood biomarkers, suggesting valuable insights for treatment.
• A key finding showed that lower depression scores correspond with elevated biomarkers, linking biology and self-reported health.
• Observational analysis examines patient-reported outcomes through blood biomarker levels to assess mental health.
• This outcome highlights the importance of utilizing blood biomarkers in evaluating mental health in multiple sclerosis, emphasizing a need for further exploration.
