Beta estimates, 95% CI, and P-values for group differences for DTI and NODDI outcomes. Bold values reflect P < 0.05 uncorrected, * denotes P-value remains significant after multiple comparison correction. For dichotomous grouping variable, congenital adrenal hyperplasia is the reference group (coded = 0 vs controls = 1).
