Résumé
To examine the agreement between published reference resources for neurofilament light chain (NfL) applied to a large population of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Six published reference resources were used to classify NfL in participants in the Multiple Sclerosis Partners Advancing Technology and Health Solutions (MS PATHS) network as elevated or normal and to derive age-specific NfL NfL measurements were assessed from 12,855 visits of 6,687 people with MS (median 2 samples per individual [range 1-7]). The mean ± SD age was 47.1 ± 11.7 years, 72.1% of participants were female, disease duration was 15.0 ± 10.6 years, body mass index was 28.6 ± 6.9 kg/m Interpretation of blood NfL values may vary markedly depending on the selection of the reference resource. Borderline elevated values should be interpreted with caution, and future studies should focus on standardizing NfL measurement and reporting across laboratories/platforms, better characterizing the effects of confounding/influencing factors, and defining the performance of NfL (including as part of multimodal predictive algorithms) for prediction of disease-specific outcomes.
