Automated EDSS Score Calculation by Smartphone Application

The EDSS score is the reference tool for rating disability in patients with multiple sclerosis. It is used in both daily monitoring and clinical research studies.

Its main shortcoming lies in its imprecise and variable nature, with significant inter-examiner variability. This variability is the consequence of the complexity of the score rating and also of its subjective nature.

The application developed aims to reduce the risk of rating error, and to homogenize the results obtained regardless of the examiner and his experience in using the score.

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Patients with multiple sclerosis seen at the Central Nervous System Day Hospital as part of their follow-up and requiring neurological examination.
Age ≥ 18 years
No opposition to the use of their data

Exclusion criteria

Neurological or general pathology, other than multiple sclerosis, that may interfere with EDSS score scoring

Treatment and study plan

neurological exam

Other

Patients participating in the study are recruited from the investigator's tertiary multiple sclerosis management centre. They are systematically examined neurologically as part of their routine follow-up.

the patient will be exceptionally examined by two distinct persons, a senior doctor and a junior doctor (internal or external) independently.

At the end of the neurological examination, each examiner will evaluate the EDSS score in a classical way (using paper definitions) then using the smartphone application

Primary outcomes

EDSS score apllication VS paper version

Time frame: 6 months

comparison of the overall EDSS score obtained with the application and its paper version at the end of the neurological examination
