- Abstract
• We describe and compare baseline characteristics in AMS and non-AMS in Argentina. • 2158 patients with MS were included: 74 AMS and 2084 non-AMS. • The prevalence of AMS in our cohort was 3.4% (95%CI 2.7–4.2). • AMS were more likely men, older at symptom onset, multifocal presentation and PPMS. • AMS had more likely spinal cord as well as infratentorial lesions at MRI during disease onset. The objectives of the present study were to describe the frequency of aggressive multiple sclerosis (aMS) as well as to compare clinical and radiological characteristics in aMS and non-aMS patients included in RelevarEM (NCT 03375177). The eligible study population and cohort selection included adult-onset patients (≥18 years) with definite MS. AMS were defined as those reaching confirmed EDSS ≥ 6 within 5 years from symptom onset. Confirmation was achieved when a subsequent EDSS ≥ 6 was recorded at least six months later but within 5 years of the first clinical presentation. AMS and non-aMS were compared using the χ2 test for categorical and the Mann-Whitney for continuous variables at MS onset and multivariable analysis was performed using forward stepwise logistic regression with baseline characteristics at disease onset. A total of 2158 patients with MS were included: 74 aMS and 2084 non-aMS. The prevalence of aMS in our cohort was 3.4% (95%CI 2.7–4.2). AMS were more likely to be male (p = 0.003), older at MS onset (p < 0.001), have primary progressive MS (PPMS) phenotype (p = 0.03), multifocal presentation (p < 0.001), and spinal cord as well as infratentorial lesions at MRI during disease onset (p = 0.004 and p = 0.002, respectively). 3.4% of our patient population could be considered aMS. Men, patients older at symptom onset, multifocal presentation, PPMS phenotype, and spinal cord as well as brainstem lesions on MRI at clinical presentation all had higher odds of having aMS.

- Abstract
• Data in cohort MS studies is seldom disaggregated by sex and males are poorly considered. • Results in MS studies may be markedly biased by the female predominance of the disease. • Men present as double the frequency of PPMS than women. • Clinical and demographic data differ between men and women mostly due to the disease course than to sex. • It's crucial to include stratified analysis by sex and phenotype when designing MS studies. In multiple sclerosis demographics there is a well-known female prevalence and male patients have been less specifically evaluated in clinical studies, though some clinical differences have been reported between sexes. The objective of this study was to assess clinical and demographic differences between male and female patients included in the national Argentine MS Registry-RelevarEM. This study was observational, retrospective, and was based on the data of 3099 MS patients included as of 04 April 2021. The statistical analysis plan included bivariate analyses with the crude data and also after adjustment for the MS phenotype, further categorized as progressive-onset MS or relapsing-onset MS. In the adjusted analysis, the Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio was compared to the crude odds ratio, to account for the phenotype as a confounder. The data from 1,074 (34.7%) men and 2,025 (65.3%) women with MS diagnosis were analysed. Males presented primary progressive disease two times more often than women (11% and 5%, respectively). In the crude analyses by sex, the presence of exclusively infratentorial lesions in the magnetic resonance imaging studies was more frequent in males than in females, but after adjustment by MS onset phenotype, such difference was only present in males with relapsing-onset MS (p = 0.00006). Similarly, worse Expanded Disability Status Scale scores were confirmed only in men with relapsing-onset disease after phenotype adjustment (p = 0.02). We did not find any statistically significant clinical or demographic difference between sexes when the progressive MS phenotype was specifically considered. However, the differences we found between the clinical phenotypes are in line with the literature and highlight the importance of stratifying the analyses by sex and phenotype when designing MS studies.

- Abstract
• RelevarEM is the first nationwide MS and NMOSD registry in Argentina • Patients with phenotype of suspected NMOSD were evaluated • 165 patients (79 AQP4-ab positive, 67 AQP4-ab negative and 19 unknown) were included • Of 67 AQP4-ab-negative patients, 36 (53.7%) were tested for MOG-ab. • 27.7% (10/36) of the AQP4-ab-negative patients tested for MOG-ab were positive for this antibody Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies (MOG-ab) have been described in aquaporin-4-antibodies(AQP4-ab)-negative neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) patients. We aimed to evaluate the percentage of AQP4-ab-negative NMOSD patients who are positive for MOG-ab in a cohort of Argentinean patients included in RelevarEM (Clinical Trials registry number NCT03375177). RelevarEM is a longitudinal, strictly observational multiple sclerosis (MS) and NMOSD registry in Argentina. Of 3031 consecutive patients (until March 2020), 165 patients with phenotype of suspected NMOSD, whose relevant data for the purpose of this study were available, were included. Data on demographic, clinical, paraclinical and treatment in AQP4-ab (positive, negative and unknown) and MOG-ab (positive and negative) patients were evaluated. A total of 165 patients (79 AQP4-Ab positive, 67 AQP4-Ab negative and 19 unknown) were included. Of these, 155 patients fulfilled the 2015 NMOSD diagnostic criteria. Of 67 AQP4-Ab-negative patients, 36 (53.7%) were tested for MOG-Ab and 10 of them (27.7%) tested positive. Serum AQP4-ab levels were tested by means of cell-based assay (CBA) in 48 (35.2%), based on tissue-based indirect immunofluorescence assays in 58 (42.6%) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 4 (2.9%). All MOG-ab were tested by CBA. Optic neuritis (90%) was the most frequent symptom at presentation and optic nerve lesions the most frequent finding (80%) in neuroimaging of MOG-ab-associated disease. Of these, six (60%) patients were under immunosuppressant treatments at latest follow-up. We observed that 27.7% (10/36) of the AQP4-ab-negative patients tested for MOG-ab were positive for this antibody, in line with results from other world regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
• OCB positivity is lower in MS, CIS and RIS patients from Argentina compared to other world regions, such as Europe and North America. • As with MS prevalence, OCB positivity does not follow a latitudinal gradient in Argentina. • The lower OCB positivity and absence of latitudinal gradient in Argentina are probably due to differential environmental and genetic/ethnic factors in our population. • Information from different regions, such as latin America, is relevant to understand the regional differences in MS. Understanding the mechanisms underlying these differences is crucial to comprehend MS pathophysiology. Background: Like MS prevalence, oligoclonal bands (OCB) frequency seems to follow a latitudinal gradient. Argentina is extensive, latitude-wise, and previous studies have not found an MS prevalence latitudinal gradient. Our aim is to describe OCB prevalence in MS, clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) patients included in the Argentinean MS and NMOSD registry (RelevarEM) and to investigate if it follows a latitudinal gradient. Methods: For each province, an average latitude was calculated, and OCB frequency was investigated. Multivariate logistical regression analysis and linear correlation were performed. Statistical analysis was repeated after excluding patients from centers using isoelectric focusing (IEF) in less than 95% of patients (CwIEF<95). Results: We included 2866 patients. OCB where positive in 73.9% of patients. No association or correlation were found between OCB and latitude of residence, even after excluding patients from (CwIEF<95). Conclusion: OCB positivity does not follow a latitudinal gradient in Argentina. Also, OCB positivity is lower than described in other world regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
• Multiple sclerosis itself does not make pregnancy high risk. • Disease stability is recommended for at least one year prior attempting pregnancy. • Disease activity decreases during the third trimester and increases in postpartum. • Mode of delivery and use of epidural anesthesia are based on obstetrical criteria. • In women with MS, pregnancy should be considered when choosing treatment. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic immune-mediated neurological disorder in young adults, more frequently found in women than in men. Therefore, pregnancy-related issues have become an object of concern for MS professionals and patients. The aim of this work was to review the existing data to develop the first Argentine consensus for family planning and pregnancy in MS patients. A panel of expert neurologists from Argentina engaged in the diagnosis and care of MS patients met both virtually and in person during 2019 to carry out a consensus recommendation for family planning and pregnancy in MS. To achieve consensus, the procedure of the "formal consensus-RAND/UCLA method" was used. Recommendations were established based on published evidence and expert opinion focusing on pre-pregnancy counseling, pregnancy, and postpartum issues. The recommendations of these consensus guidelines are intended to optimize the management and treatment of MS patients during their reproductive age in Argentina. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
