  • Note:—No. MS-CIS-HI indicates No. of patients with MS and CIS and HI included in each analysis.

  • a The data are presented as mean (SD). The absolute values are expressed in milliliters. The differences among the MS, CIS, and HI groups were calculated using analysis of covariance adjusted for age at first MRI, sex, and field strength, as covariates.
