Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Cognitive impairment, fatigue, and mood disorders are common in multiple sclerosis (MS), but their interplay and neurologic substrates are not well understood. This study aims to identify atrophy patterns in patients with MS with varying levels of cognitive impairment, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. METHODS: -score <-1.5, with intergroup comparisons using Bayesian multinomial logistic regression (95% CI). RESULTS: < 0.001), compared with K1. DISCUSSION: Cognitive impairment, fatigue, anxiety, and depression in patients with MS can coexist or present independently. Our findings suggest a stronger association between cognitive impairment and deep gray matter atrophy while fatigue, anxiety, and depression are more strongly associated with cerebellar atrophy. The accumulation of cognitive impairment, fatigue, anxiety, and depression is associated with increasing global cortical and deep gray matter atrophy.
