The Smouldering-Associated Worsening (SAW) Index is a patient-reported outcome measure developed to track subtle, non-relapsing neurological progression in Multiple Sclerosis, addressing limitations in traditional assessment tools. Led by Professor Jeremy Hobart, this tool aims to identify early disease progression and optimize treatment, including the use of BTK inhibitors, to manage invisible MS progression.
