RTX | 0.74 (0.60–0.91) | 0.008 | 0.79 (0.68–0.93) | 0.005 |

All estimates were calculated with a mixed effect model for repeated measurements with three different treatment group as the main explanatory variable, adjusted with or without baseline clinical variable: age, EDSS score, recent relapse(yes/no), prior treatment, and baseline pNfL levels; The estimates have been back transformed to the original scale. CI, confidence interval; EDSS, Expanded Disability Status Scale; pNfL, plasma neurofilament light chain; PRE, prednisone; Ref, reference; RTX, Rituximab; TCZ, tocilizumab.
