Popis: Summary We characterized the frequency of diffusely abnormal white matter (DAWM) across a broad spectrum of multiple sclerosis (MS) participants. 35% of clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), 57% of relapsing remitting and 64% of secondary progressive MS participants demonstrated DAWM. CIS with DAWM had decreased cortical thickness, higher lesion load and a higher concentration of serum neurofilament light chain compared to CIS without DAWM. DAWM may be useful in identifying CIS patients with greater injury to their brains. Larger and longitudinal studies are warranted.
