Justification for each of criteria is supported by evidence from AHSCT trials and observational studies. Referral criteria: I. Diagnosis of MS made by a neurologist II. Able to walk, needing at most bilateral assistance to walk 20mt without resting III.

EDSS score 0-6.5 7. Inflammatory active MS as defined by ≥1 Gd+ (>3mm) lesion (off steroids for one month) or ≥2 new T2 lesions in MRI within last 12 months 8.
