Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune demyelinating disease characterized by inflammation of white matter in the central nervous system. It has been indicated that this inflammation causes increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate if there is a possible association between inflammatory markers and the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score in patients with MS.We reviewed the data of 127 patients (91 women and 36 men) who were retrospectively diagnosed as MS according to the revised Mc Donald's criteria who were seen at our facility between January 2007 and December 2012. Patients were divided into two groups according to EDSS score: Group 1, EDSS 5. Additionally, NLR and CRP levels may be discriminative factors of adverse clinical outcomes.
