Exploring the predictive value of the evoked potentials score in MS within an appropriate patient population: a hint for an early identification of benign MS?

Table 1 Demographical and clinical variables

Variable	Mean±SD	Median (IQR)
Age at FNE	31.9 ± 8.7	31 (25–38)
Time from first symptom to FNE	4.5 ± 4.6yrs	3 (1–7)yrs
Time from FNE to 2009	10.5 ± 4.6yrs	11(6.5-14)yrs
F_EP score	7.6 ± 8.5	5 (2–11)
F_EDSS (<3.5)	1.3 ±0.9	1.5 (1–2)
TT2	6.5 ± 7.7	3( 0–11)
L_EDSS	2.7 ± 1.7	2.5 (1.5-3.5)

IQR = Inter Quartile Range; FNE = first neurological evaluation; F_EP score= EP score at first neurological evaluation; F_EDSS = EDSS at first neurological evaluation; L_EDSS = last EDSS assessed during 2009; TT2=time to EDSS 2.0; Yrs=years. % women = 79 (n=113).
