Table 2.

FA values of mean skeleton in HCs, pwMS, and pwMS sub-groups.

	FA of Mean Skeleton (Median, Range)	p-Value (Adjusted for Age)	p-Value (Adjusted for EDSS)	p-Value (Adjusted for Age + EDSS)
HCs (n = 14)	0.4590268 (0.4404533, 0.4853403)	0.004 **	N/A	N/A
pwMS (n = 29)	0.4338049 (0.3303200, 0.4874299)	0.004 **	N/A	N/A
MS-no-LUTS (n = 9)	0.4446728 (0.4288627, 0.4740112)	0.159	0.047 *	0.072
MS-OAB (n = 17)	0.4299469 (0.3305743, 0.4859033)	0.159	0.047 *	0.072

FA: fractional anisotropy; HCs: healthy controls; MS: multiple sclerosis; MS-no-LUTS: MS patients without lower urinary tract symptoms; MS-OAB: MS patients with OAB; N/A: not applicable; pwMS: patients with MS. Statistically significant difference was found between HCs and pwMS. MS-no-LUTS and MS-OAB were tested using Mann–Whitney U test. *: p < 0.05; **: p < 0.01.
