A number of clinical characteristics of multiple sclerosis that may influence prognosis quo ad valetudinem are considered; onset with optic neuritis and frequency of recurrence less than 0.5/annum in the first three years of disease seem to be associated with a slower degree of deterioration (measured by the progression index). The age of onset, sex and type of disease would not appear to influence the prognosis.
