Figure 2. Baseline clinical status of patients and serum NfL levels.

Figure 2

Patients who had a baseline NfL greater than the median value (>28.24 pgml-1, red line, n = 11) had rapidly reached EDSS score of 6 prior to IAHSCT, (A), median duration 6.91 years, compared to patients with lower levels (≤28.24 pgml-1, blue line, n = 12). Nine of the 23 patients had clinical relapses in the 12 months prior to IAHSCT. On average these patients had higher baseline serum NfL compared to the 13 patients who had not (p = 0.047). Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. EDSS = Expanded Disability Status Scale; IAHSCT = immunoablation followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; NfL = neurofilament light chain.
