Supports myelitis risk stratification; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
This population-wide study demonstrates a relatively high incidence of myelitis (24.9 cases per million person-years) and identifies key predictors of poor functional outcome and relapse.
Jónsson et al. (2025) studied this question.
