Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The following characteristics were identified: higher percentage of women of the age of 24-34, the prevalence of primary progressive and secondary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis that are most prognostically unfavorable, the level of disability of 52%. Attention is drawn to the fact that only 14% of the patients participate in therapeutic programs.
