Spearman correlationa between log(Serum NfL) at baseline and prognostic measures of NPC1
Measurement | (95% CI) | FDR-Adjusted P Value | Raw P Value |
---|---|---|---|
Age of neuro onset (n = 109) | −0.36 (−0.51, −0.18) | .0001 | .0001 |
ASIS (n = 104) | 0.58 (0.43, 0.69) | <.0001 | <.0001 |
5-domain severity score (n = 118) | 0.43 (0.27, 0.56) | <.0001 | <.0001 |
17-domain severity score (n = 118) | 0.40 (0.24, 0.54) | <.0001 | <.0001 |
log(CSF NfL) (n = 133)b | 0.68 (0.58, 0.76) | <.0001 | <.0001 |
ASIS, annual severity increment score; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; NfL, neurofilament light.
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.
Includes all serum samples and their available corresponding CSF samples.
