summary: In this study the authors compared two populations of paediatric-onset MS with two populations of adult onset MS, that had short and long disease evolution. They found that even though people with paediatric-onset MS had a similar lesion burden when compared to adult onset MS, the accrual of disability was slower in paediatric-onset than in adult-onset MS.
