Abstract

The Expanded Disability Status Score (EDSS) is the most commonly used scale to assess disability in multiple sclerosis (MS). A major criticism concerns its low interobserver reproducibility. To improve this reproducibility, we propose scoring guidelines for French-speaking neurologists (NEUROSCORE).
