Age-corrected mean FA for patient and control groups by different evaluation strategies
Group | Evaluation Strategy | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
A | B | C | D | ||
FAmean | Patients (n = 10) | 0.644 ± 0.049 | 0.728 ± 0.075 | 0.693 ± 0.076 | 0.672 ± 0.064 |
(Age corrected) ± SD | Control subjects (n = 20) | 0.694 ± 0.045 | 0.770 ± 0.048 | 0.732 ± 0.020 | 0.691 ± 0.045 |
Significance of group difference | P = .001 | P = .011 | P = .004 | P = .162 | |
DSR | 1.12 | 0.86 | 1.96 | 0.43 |
Note:—FA indicates fractional anisotropy; FAmean, mean value of FA measurements of the respective variability assessment; DSR, difference vs SD ratio.
