  1. Variables included in multivariable model 1 (age, sex, worst EDSS, onset-to-sample time) and multivariable model 2 (age, sex, MRI lesion length, worst EDSS, onset-to-sample time) were selected from significant variables in the univariable analysis as well as adjusted variables
  2. lnNLR natural log-transformed neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, F female sex (compared to male), EDSS expanded disability status scale
