  • 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.
