Abstract

Background: Data on perioperative risk stratification in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are limited. In this regard, the present study was conducted to investigate Iranian specialists’ approach to surgical counseling for patients with MS (PwMS). Methods: 21 MS specialists were asked about 11 case scenarios with different MS disease statuses, disease- modifying therapies (DMTs), and urgency of the operation. The reasons for refusing surgery or factors that have to be considered before surgery were studied. Results: Overall, Fleiss Kappa was estimated to be 0.091 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.090-0.093, P < 0.001] indicating a very poor level of agreement among responders. © 2023 Ir.
