ABSTRACT
Introduction: The initiation of interferon therapy has been and is the first step in the treatment of many patients with multiple sclerosis, with the aim of delaying the progression of the disease.Objective: To identify the clinical markers of response to treatment with Interferon beta-1a in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
Methods: An observational, descriptive, longitudinal, prospective study was carried out of a series of cases of patients diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, who received treatment with interferon beta-1a, in the period between January 2014 and December 2020. All 39 patients were included.
Results: The mean age was 34.54 years. The mean disability level at baseline, 12, 24, and 36 months was 1.76; 1.91; 2.1 and 2.37 respectively. The mean number of flares at baseline, 12, 24, and 36 months was 1.13; 0.26; 0.38 and 0.13 respectively. The number of progressions lower by 51% at 36 months is shown. The odds ratio for the absence of relapses is between 2 and 4 times in these patients.
Conclusions: Clinical markers of response to treatment with Interferon beta-1a are identified that help assess the response to treatment, which has a positive impact on the evolution of the disease.
