Objective To validate a latent class model for trajectories of reaction time change in RRMS.

Background Longitudinal cognitive trajectories in MS are heterogenous. Computerised tests screening broad cognitive domains could potentially detect cognitive change.

Design/Methods MSReactor is a set of reaction time tasks for psychomotor function (SiRT), visual attention (ChRT) and working memory (OBK). Participants completed 6-monthly in-clinic testing and additional remote testing. Latent class analysis was used to classify participants into discrete cognitive trajectories. The number of tests required to reliably classify an individual into a longitudinal trajectory was examined. We performed survival analyses for inter-class differences in time to 6-month confirmed EDSS disability progression (CDP) and time to sustained reaction time change.

Results We included 460 pwRRMS with at least 3 MSReactor tests over > 180 days follow up. Three latent cognitive trajectories were identified for each task. In the SiRT task trajectories, we identified a group of pwRRMS with a slowing/worsening reaction time trajectory. Reduced datasets of up to 5 tests per participant could classify participants into the trajectories identified in the full dataset model, with up to 81% accuracy for all tasks. All tasks detected a group of pwRRMS with increased probability of sustained reaction time changes of between 5% and 30%. The ChRT and OBK task trajectories identified a group of pwRRMS with greatly increased probability of 6-month CDP (HR 3.7 p<0.01 and HR2.6 p<0.05, respectively).

Conclusions

We identified distinct latent classes on longitudinal reaction time measures. Serial data on only 3, 4 or 5 tests per participant was highly accurate in defining latent trajectories, increasing the potential clinical utility. All tasks identified a group of RRMS likely to sustain reaction time worsening of between 5% and 30%. The ChRT and OBK task trajectories identified a group more likely to experience confirmed disability progression, as measured by serial EDSS scores.
