Isolated Demyelinating Syndromes: Comparison of CSF Oligoclonal Bands and Different MR Imaging Criteria to Predict Conversion to CDMS Mult Scler 7:359-363, Tintore,M.,et al, 2001 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract To evaluate and compare the capacity of oligoclonal bands (OB) and three sets of MR imaging criteria to predict the conversion of clinically isolated syndromes (CIS) to clinically definite multiple sclerosis (CDMS). We observed a high preval ence of OB in CIS. OB and MR imaging (Paty's and Fazekas' criteria) have high sensitivity. Barkhof's criteria have a higher specificity. Both OB and MR imaging criteria have a high negative predictive value.
