Differences in OCT parameters of MS and NSWMLs patients.
| Characteristic | MS (n = 41) | NSWMLs (n = 19) | p-Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| pRNFL average, µm | 107.5 (99.5; 116.0) | 109.5 (107.5; 119.0) | 0.185 |
| pRNFL superior, µm | 128.0 (114.0; 136.5) | 128.5 (122.0; 142.0) | 0.293 |
| pRNFL inferior, µm | 123.0 (110.5; 137.0) | 131.5 (127.5; 140.0) | 0.088 |
| pRNFL nasal, µm | 70.0 (64.5; 75.0) | 73.0 (68.5; 74.0) | 0.579 |
| pRNFL temporal, µm | 69.5 (65.5; 75.5) | 73.5 (68.0; 76.5) | 0.218 |
| Average GCIPL, µm | 80.0 (75.0; 85.5) | 85.5 (84.5; 86.5) | 0.024 * |
| Average mRNFL, µm | 28.0 (27.0; 30.5) | 30.0 (28.5; 32.5) | 0.030 * |
| Average MV, mm3 | 6.90 (6.43; 7.17) | 7.03 (6.93; 7.19) | 0.110 |
Data are presented as the median (Q1; Q3). * p < 0.05. Groups were compared with the Mann–Whitney U-test for continuous variables and the χ2 test or Fisher’s exact test for nominal variables. Abbreviations: MS, multiple sclerosis; NSWMLs, nonspecific white matter lesions; pRNFL, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer; GCLIPL, ganglion cell inner plexiform layer; mRNFL, macular retinal nerve fiber layer; MV, macular volume.
