A Web-based tool for personalized prediction of long-term disease course in patients with multiple sclerosis

The Evidence‐Based Decision Support Tool in Multiple Sclerosis (EBDiMS) is the first Web‐based prognostic calculator in multiple sclerosis (MS) capable of delivering individualized estimates of disease progression. It has recently been extended to provide long‐term predictions based on the data from a large natural history cohort.
