Data in parentheses represent the 95% confidence intervals. Time represents NfL measurement at entry or after initiation of the first course of IVIg. The reference model includes: age, preceding diarrhoea, and MRC sum score at week 1. Delta C-statistic and Delta R2 represent the differences between the model with log (NfL) and the reference model. Abbreviation: NfL, Neurofilament light chain.
