We performed a web-based survey among German-speaking neurologists to evaluate the acceptance of the 2021 German guideline in the diagnosis and treatment of multiple sclerosis. Based on 327 replies in total, the current survey largely reproduced the findings of an earlier, smaller survey on the prefinal consultation version of the guideline and confirmed high acceptance rates. Half of the participants were practising neurologists. Neurologists from MS centers with more than 500 patients per year (n=26) were more critical of the guideline. They reiterated some of the criticisms of the previous feedback, and, in particular, felt that safety aspects are overemphasized in the guideline, thereby superseding early aggressive therapy.
