Comparing quadrant retinal nerve fiber layer measurements in optic neuritis eyes between men and women
Abbreviation: RNFL = retinal nerve fiber layer.
a
Initial RNFL measurements documented within 30 days of the acute optic neuritis event.
b
Repeated-measures analysis of variance statistical comparison.
c
Unpaired t test (a 2-sample [pooled or unequal variance] t test was used to compare men vs women).
d
Multivariate regression: effect of sex on visual structural change at 6 months from baseline (adjusted for age, disease duration, use of disease-modifying therapy, use of steroids and multiple sclerosis subtype [clinically isolated syndrome vs relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis]).
