Table 3.

GEE analyses demonstrating the association between vision-related QoL (per 5 points) and pRNFL and GCIPL thickness.

pRNFL β (95% CI) p value GCIPL β (95% CI) p value
Vision-related QoL (unadjusted) 1.03 (0.01 to 2.01) 0.038 1.12 (0.26 to 1.99) 0.011
Vision-related QoL (adjusted for age, sex, and use of DMT) 0.96 (0.01 to 1.91) 0.048 1.08 (0.28 to 1.87) 0.008
Vision-related QoL (adjusted for age, sex, use of DMT, and MSON 0.92 (−0.04 to 1.87) 0.060 0.93 (0.15 to 1.71) 0.020

CI: confidence interval; GEE: generalized estimating equations; pRNFL: peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer; GCIPL: ganglion cell inner plexiform layer; QoL: quality of life; MSON: MS-associated optic neuritis; DMT: disease-modifying treatment.

Adjustments for age, sex, use of DMT, and history of MSON had minimal effect. Data shown as β (95% CI, p value).

All analyses were corrected for inter-eye dependency.
