MS: multiple sclerosis; CIS: clinically isolated syndrome; RRMS: relapsing-remitting MS; SPMS: secondary progressive MS; PPMS: primary progressive MS; HC: healthy controls; EDSS: expanded disability status scale; NT: no treatment; IFN: interferon-; GA: glatiramer acetate. Number of patients. Mean ± SD (range). Number of relapses in the two years before study entry. Analyses were performed for all four subtypes versus control, as well as between the subtypes. The results from the Mann-Whitney test are indicated as the Bonferroni-corrected -values (). compared to controls. compared to CIS. compared to RRMS. compared to SPMS. |
