Synthetic Data Analysis in Multiple Sclerosis Research
Researchers used artificial intelligence to generate synthetic data from 1,666 patients in the Italian Multiple Sclerosis Register, finding that treatment effect estimates for early intensive vs escalation treatments were similar across real and synthetic datasets.

sample size1666
sample size basisMETHODS: Artificial intelligence generative models were trained on a sub-cohort of 1666 Italian Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders Register patients to generate a synthetic dataset of 4878 patients.

interventionOBJECTIVE: To assess the validity of artificial intelligence-generated synthetic data in replicating data collected in the Italian Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders Register for the evaluation of progression independent of relapse activity risk under early intensive treatment and escalation treatment strategies.
comparatorCONCLUSION: Artificial intelligence-generated synthetic data reliably replicated treatment-effect outcomes of Italian Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders Register data, supporting their potential use in clinically defined research settings.
primary endpointCox proportional hazards models showed that synthetic data preserved the robustness of the estimates for the risk of a first progression independent of relapse activity event.
findingsRESULTS: The synthetic data demonstrated fidelity and privacy preservation.
limitationsTitle: Validation of generative artificial intelligence techniques for synthetic data generation in multiple sclerosis research: A comparison with real-world evidence from the Italian multiple sclerosis registry.
