Table 4.
Correlations between mean kmf values and EDSS, CRT, PASAT, and SDMT scores for cohort of all MS patients, patients with established disability (EDSS >0), and the combined cohort of all healthy controls and all MS patients. Correlations were highest for EDSS scores in the MS patients with disability.
