Pathological cerebrospinal fluid protein concentration and albumin quotient at relapse predicts short-term disability progression in multiple sclerosis: a retrospective single center observational study.

Our study conducted in MS patients during first relapse confirmed that both increased CSF protein concentration and pathological QAlb have a negative impact on EDSS after relapse. As secondary finding, we identified time from symptom onset to lumbar puncture as predictor of disability recovery after relapse.
