Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients treated in MS centres in Poland.Entities:

Estimation corresponding to the Kaplan-Meier curves: outcomes in rows (relapse, EDSS increase, T2 and Gd+ lesions, NEDA-3) and treatment in columns.
For each outcome and treatment, the initial number of patient is given in the header following DMT name; then for each time interval (12, 24, 36 and 48 months since the start of DMT) were reported: the number of patient still at risk (n.risk), number of patient for which the outcome was measured during the given interval (n.event) and the corresponding estimation of survival probability (surv., probability that the outcome has not happened) along with its standard error (std.err).

A: Relapse-free survival rate B: Disease-progression-free survival rate progression C: T2-lesion-free survival rate D: Gd+-lesion-free survival rate E: NEDA-3 survival rate. The large confidence interval beyond 48 months observed in B, D and E in second-line treatment was due to algorithm artefact linked to low observation availability.
