Spearman correlationa between log(Serum NfL) at baseline and prognostic measures of NPC1

Measurement rs (95% CI) FDR-Adjusted P Value Raw P Value
Age of neuro onset (n = 109) −0.36 (−0.51, −0.18) .0001 .0001

ASIS, annual severity increment score; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; NfL, neurofilament light.

a

The Pearson correlation between log(serum NfL) and log(CSF NfL) was 0.715, based on 133 pairs of measurements. However, the normality checks revealed violations of normality assumption. Therefore, the Spearman correlation coefficient is presented here.

b

Includes all serum samples and their available corresponding CSF samples.
