Coming soon - revised McDonald criteria presented at ECTRIMS 2024.

• A revised version of the McDonald criteria is expected to include additional features that will help doctors make an accurate diagnosis at an earlier stage of the disease.
• The 2024 revised criteria will allow diagnosing MS in some people who would be classified as having radiologically isolated syndrome.
• The revisions are also expected to include the incorporation of new MRI technology and biomarkers, such as neurofilament light chain and the central vein sign.
• These changes will aim to speed up the process of diagnosing MS and avoid misdiagnoses that prevent people with MS from accessing available treatments. It is anticipated that the updated criteria will be published and available in 2025.
