Fig. 5: Comparing white matter hyperintensity (WMH) stage and volume in order to discriminate stroke patients from controls.

a Distributions of WMH stages and volumes in controls and stroke patients. Two-sided P values were calculated using Mann-Whitney U-tests to compare WMH stages and volumes between the groups: stage (patients vs. high-risk controls: 1.03 × 10–2640; patients vs. low-risk controls: 3.99 × 10–2839; high-risk controls vs. low-risk controls: 7.76 × 10–178); volume (patients vs. high-risk controls: 1.61 × 10–1334; patients vs. low-risk controls: 2.71 × 10–1731; high-risk controls vs. low-risk controls: 2.97 × 10–223). b Receiver operating characteristic curves for distinguishing stroke patients from controls based on either WMH stage or WMH volume. Areas under the curves (AUCs) were calculated and statistically compared using the DeLong test; two-sided P values are reported (patients vs. high-risk controls: 8.88 × 10–975; patients vs. low-risk controls: 1.50 × 10–571; high-risk controls vs. low-risk controls: 6.50 × 10–32).
