Table 1 Characteristics of study populations, n (%)/mean ± SD

Parameter		NMOSD group	MOGAD group	Control group
Average age (years)		39.6	36.9	36.9
Sex	Male	1 (12.5)	6 (35)	3 (30)
Sex	Female	7 (87.5)	11 (65)	7 (70)
Laterality	Unilateral	8 (100)	9 (53)	NA
Laterality	Bilateral	0 (0)	8 (47)	NA
Average visual acuity of affected eye at presentation (LogMAR)		2.42 ± 0.56	1.13 ± 0.86	NA
