Comparison of retinal layer thicknesses between RIS subjects with and without spinal cord or infratentorial lesions and HC

Layer thicknesses mean (μm) (SD) RIS with SC lesions vs. RIS without SC lesions RIS with SC lesions vs. HC
Layer RIS with SC lesions (n=20 eyes) RIS without SC lesions (n=34 eyes) HC (n=120 eyes) Coefficient, (μm) (95% CI) P-value Coefficient, (μm) (95% CI) P-value
p-RNFL 89.62 (11.25) 95.72 (9.54) 93.12 (10.15) −3.70 (−10.28 to 2.87) 0.27 −2.07 (−8.22 to 4.09) 0.51
GCIP 71.70 (7.01) 77.44 (4.43) 76.97 (5.21) −3.53 (−6.93 to −0.14) 0.041 −4.41 (−7.61 to −1.20) 0.007
Layer thicknesses mean (μm) (SD) RIS with IT lesions vs. RIS without IT lesions RIS with IT lesions vs. HC
Layer RIS with IT lesions (n=19 eyes) RIS without IT lesions (n=35 eyes) HC (n=120 eyes) Coefficient, (μm) (95% CI) P-value Coefficient, (μm) (95% CI) P-value
p-RNFL 89.33 (9.01) 95.89 (10.71) 93.12 (10.15) −5.59 (−12.09 to 0.90) 0.09 −3.37 (−8.53 to 1.79) 0.20
GCIP 72.24 (3.85) 76.98 (6.54) 76.97 (5.21) −3.49 (−6.62 to −0.35) 0.029 −4.07 (−6.33 to −1.82) <0.001

RIS: radiologically isolated syndrome; HC: healthy controls; SC: spinal cord; SD: standard deviation; CI: confidence interval; p-RNFL: peri-papillary retinal nerve fiber layer; GCIP: ganglion cell + inner plexiform layer; IT: infratentorial
