Abstract Category: Clinical aspects of MS - Paediatric MS
Introduction: Information on the application of the revised 2017 McDonald criteria in children is limited. The role of biomarkers to confirm or discard MS diagnosis is uncertain.
Objectives: 1) To compare the application of the 2017 and 2010 McDonald criteria in children with a first demyelinating event, and 2) To evaluate the contribution of biomarkers: oligoclonal bands (OB), acquaporin 4 (AQP4) and MOG-IgG in predicting their clinical course.
Methods: Prospective cohort of children (< 18 years) followed from a first demyelinating episode. Serum/CSF samples (< 3 months from disease onset) were investigated for OB, AQP4 and MOG-IgG. Thirty-seven MRI items were systematically analysed blinded to clinical and immunological data. We evaluated the proportion of patients fulfilling the 2010 and the 2017 McDonald criteria at baseline and the contribution of biomarkers in predicting the clinical course
Results: Clinical and baseline MRI data were available for 55 children (45% female) with a median (IQR) age of 6.2 (3.5-13.6) years (67% < 12years). At baseline, the diagnosis according to 2010 McDonald and 2013 IPMSSG criteria were ADEM (n=28), MS (n=3), classical CIS (n=17), RIS (n=1), and other in 6 (MRI suggestive of ADEM but without encephalopathy). After a median (IQR) follow-up of 16 (7-26) months the diagnosis changed in 10 patients because of clinical (n=5) or radiological (n=5) activity: 7 patients evolved to MS (6 patients with classical CIS and 1 with RIS), 1 to relapsing ON, 1 to ADEM-ON (ADEM followed by ON), and 1 to neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). None of the 7 patients with available baseline samples who evolved to MS had MOG-IgG in comparison to 22/38(58%) who did not evolve (p=0.01). None had AQP4. In contrast, 5/7 (71%) patients with MS had positive OB compared to 1/26 (4%) who did not develop MS (p< 0.001). At baseline, 3/10 already fulfilled the 2010 McDonald criteria; 4 additional patients (7/10) fulfilled the 2017 MS criteria thanks to the contribution of OB.
Conclusions: The application of the 2017 McDonald criteria in children is feasible and allows an earlier diagnosis of MS. Presence of OB and negativity of MOG-IgG are useful biomarkers when evaluating the risk of MS in children with a first demyelinating event.
