  • Note:—NCV indicates normalized cortical volume; NWMV, normalized white matter volume; T1-LV, T1 lesion volume; T2-LV, T2 lesion volume.

  • Regression analysis was adjusted for the effects of age, sex, disability level, and disease duration. All P values were corrected for multiple comparisons using Benjamini-Hochberg correction.

  • * indicates significant P values (P < .05) after correction.
