| Differences in descriptive statistics between the migraine cases and controls will be examined with *2 test, unpaired t tests, and one-way analyses of variance. Volume of white matter lesions and number of infarcts will be analyzed cross-sectionally as well as longitudinally. Cross-sectional analyses will concentrate on prevalence of participants with a high WML load (similar criteria as to CAMERA 1) and on the number of (posterior circulation) infarcts prevalent. The same methods will be used as was reported for CAMERA 1. Longitudinal analyses will concentrate on progression of lesions (=primary endpoint): either increase in number and/or total volume of WMLs, and/or increase in size of existing infarcts and/or the presence of new infarcts together. Progression of brain lesions over a period of 6 years in relation to migraine diagnosis and characteristics will be tested using multivariate models, in which will be controlled for relevant confounding factors. This follow-up data will be analyzed using both logistic regression, as well as regression based on a Cox proportional hazard model. Confounders will be entered into final models. Analyses of the PFO measurements will be categorical. Multi-variate logistic regression, adjusting for confounders will be to analyze the association of PFO to migraine diagnose, MRI-characteristics, and combined. All parameters of the BST are continuous, and will be analyzed in relation to migraine status and presence of cerebellar lesions. Results of the cognitive testing will be analyzed cross-sectional as well as longitudinal, also in relationship to migraine characteristics and/or brain lesions. For both the cerebellar function tests and the cognitive outcomes, the analyses will be based on linear regression, after ascertaining the normality of their distribution. Statistical analyses and appropriate regression diagnostics will be conducted with current SPSS statistical software (SPSS Inc, Chicago, Ill). | — |
