Figure 5
Long-term progression of disability and cumulative number of relapses. Mean time-courses are shown in black for the MX1high group and in red for the MX1low group. The change of disability according to the expanded disability status scale (EDSS) as well as the relapse rate during the 5-year follow-up period were similar for both cohorts (Welch’s t-test P-values > 0.2). MX1high patients presented on average a slightly worse EDSS at baseline, and this nonsignificant difference persisted during the treatment. Error bars represent standard errors.
