abstract = {BackgroundPatients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have an
increased risk of suffering from mental and neuropsychiatric
symptoms. So far, a fundamental problem in the clinical care
of MS patients is that these symptoms are underdiagnosed
and, as a consequence, often remain untreated. Present
assessment tools have not been developed to be applied in
patients with MS. This study aims to develop and validate a
new questionnaire to identify disease-related mental
symptoms in MS patients.MethodsA questionnaire has been
developed by including the following subscales: social and
emotional health problems, anxiety, and depression. To
evaluate test quality and internal consistency, an item
analysis has been conducted. After matching MS patients and
control subjects on age and gender, we conducted group
comparisons, a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve
analysis and a binary logistic regression model.ResultsIn
total, 314 MS patients and 100 matched control subjects were
analysed. After performed item analysis, the questionnaire
revealed an excellent internal consistency. Compared to
control subjects, MS patients showed significant mental
health problems in all three dimensions. In comparison to
the subscales, the dimension of social and emotional health
problems revealed the highest accuracy (AUC = 0.75; d =
0.948) and turned out to be the only scale that reliably
differentiated between the groups.ConclusionsMeSyMS
constitutes a valid screening instrument to detect mental
symptoms in MS. Social and emotional health problems turned
out to be the most important aspect when identifying
disease-related mental health symptoms in MS.},
