- Figure 1 Study Inclusion and Outcomes Following DMT Discontinuation in Benign/Burnt-Out MS
Depicted is the study inclusion flowchart and post-DMT discontinuation outcomes among the patients with MS with a suspected benign/burnt-out disease course at the time of DMT discontinuation. Of the 475 KPSC members whose last dispensed MS DMT was between 2012 and 2016, and who were 50 years or older at the time of last dispensed DMT, 136 had a suspected benign/burnt-out disease course at DMT discontinuation. Of these, only 5 experienced a relapse following DMT discontinuation, of which only 2 resulted in new, albeit mild, residual deficits. *Asymptomatic MRI disease activity was defined according to the MAGNIMS criteria16 to avoid misclassification of microvascular ischemic changes as MS disease activity. DMT = disease-modifying therapy; dz = disease; KPSC = Kaiser Permanente Southern California; RRMS = relapsing-remitting MS; SPMS = secondary progressive MS.
