Consistency of multivariate syndromic patterns across two different biomechanically controlled cervical spinal contusion models.

<p><b><i>A,</i></b> SCI syndromic space extracted from an NYU/MASCIS injury device dataset (N = 52 rats; 24 outcome variables). <b><i>B,</i></b> SCI syndromic space extracted from an Infinite Horizons injury device dataset (N = 100 rats, 24 outcome variables). Note, normed PC score axes are scaled according to variance within each extraction, resulting in axes with units that are not directly comparable across extractions. However relative relationships among groups (sham vs. injuries) are conserved. <b><i>C,</i></b> Consensus PC loading patterns that are conserved across injury patterns. Loading weights (arrows) reflect average values across the two datasets. <b><i>D,</i></b> Statistical evaluation of PC cross-validation in the PC loading matrices from NYU/MASCIS and IH injury datasets. *p<.05 for n = 24 variables; s>0.63.
