From checkboxes to emojis: a novel approach to patient-reported outcomes in multiple sclerosis.
Background: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) improve multiple sclerosis (MS) management by reflecting patients' perspectives of their disease. Mayo Clinic Electronic Emoji Based Neurological Impairment Status (MEBNIS) is a short PROM consisting of four equally-weighted domains (MemoryMEBNIS, MoodMEBNIS, Fatigue-SleepinessMEBNIS, and AmbulationMEBNIS) and CompositeMEBNIS, which are based on emojis.
Objective: To investigate the correlations of MEBNIS with patient-reported, examination-based, performance-based, and radiological metrics of disease severity in persons with MS (pwMS).
Methods: PwMS (n = 195) prospectively completed MEBNIS, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), MS Functional Composite (MSFC) and its subtests [25-Foot Walk Test (25FWT), 9-Hole Peg Test (9HPT), Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT)], Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Fatigue Questionnaire (FQ), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) between May 2021 and May 2024. Participants also underwent brain MRIs. Correlations were summarized using Spearman's rank correlation coefficients.
Conclusions: As a novel visual PROM, MEBNIS correlates with established patient-reported, examination-based, performance-based, and radiological metrics of MS severity. It offers a fast, intuitive, and accessible multi-domain evaluation of impairment and disease severity in MS, applicable to both clinical practice and clinical trials as a potential digital tool.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neurology is an international peer-reviewed journal which provides a source for publishing original communications and reviews on clinical neurology covering the whole field.
In addition, Letters to the Editors serve as a forum for clinical cases and the exchange of ideas which highlight important new findings. A section on Neurological progress serves to summarise the major findings in certain fields of neurology. Commentaries on new developments in clinical neuroscience, which may be commissioned or submitted, are published as editorials.
Every neurologist interested in the current diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders needs access to the information contained in this valuable journal.
