Table 2.
Multivariable Cox regression model testing the associations between baseline sNfL z-score and sGFAP levels and the risk of first relapse appearance since o initiation.
| First relapse since OCR | ||
|---|---|---|
| HR [95% CI] | p-Value | |
| Age | 1.005 [0.914–1.105] | 0.919 |
| Sex (male) | 0.289 [0.315–2.642] | 0.271 |
| Disease duration (years) | 1.003 [0.887–1.136] | 0.951 |
| Relapses in previous year | 0.686 [0.244–1.924] | 0.474 |
| Baseline EDSS | 0.786 [0.357–1.730] | 0.550 |
| Baseline T2 lesion load | 0.937 [0.309–2.838] | 0.908 |
| Baseline sNfL, z-score | 2.116 [1.119–3.999] | 0.021 |
| Baseline sGFAP, pg/ml | 0.999 [0.993–1.005] | 0.768 |
Multivariable model was adjusted by age, sex, disease duration, relapses in previous year, baseline EDSS and T2 lesion load. Bold highlight indicates statistically significant values. OCR, ocrelizumab initiation; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; EDSS, Expanded Disability Status Scale; sNfL, serum neurofilament light chain; sGFAP, serum glial fibrillary acidic protein.
