  • Note:—HR indicates hazard ratio; AUC, area under the curve.

  • a Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to analyze the association of early MRI outcome changes (0–6 and 0–12 mo) and time to development of CDP. The Benjamini-Hochberg correction was used to minimize the false discovery rate, and P values < .05 were considered significant.

  • b Significant P value <.05.
