Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence curve. Time to next evidence of disease activity in patients retrospectively classified as not meeting newer diagnostic criteria for MS at baseline (i.e. newer CIS definition).
†Next evidence of disease activity based on McDonald 2005 criteria (i.e. attack or any EDSS worsening or MRI event (defined as a new T1 Gd+ or new or enlarging T2 lesions on MRI)).
*Hazard ratio from Cox proportional hazards model with effects for treatment adjusted for the stratification factor (region); p values from two-sided Wald test.
CI: confidence interval; EDSS: Expanded Disability Status Scale; Gd+: gadolinium enhancing; HR: hazard ratio; MS: multiple sclerosis; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging.
