Note:—EDSS indicates Expanded Disability Status Scale; NGMV, normalized total GM volume; NWMV, normalized total WM volume; NBV, normalized whole-brain volume.
↵a Data are mean ± SD. When normally distributed, a multivariate general linear model was used with age and sex included as covariates. Nonparametric testing was performed using Kruskal-Wallis and post hoc Mann-Whitney U tests.
↵b χ2 test.
↵c Median and range.
↵d Only significant between patients treated with IFNb/GA and healthy controls.
↵e Median and interquartile range.
