eDue to reconfiguration of the Multiple Sclerosis Performance Test during the course of this study, 14 of the 164 patients did not provide responses to two of the Neuro-QoL domains—(1) positive affect and well-being and (2) emotional and behavioral dyscontrol—resulting in a total of 150 individual patient responses for these two domains.
fRate and CI are based on a multivariate-adjusted mixed-effects regression model.
