No significant differences in initial muscle pathology findings and muscle pathology score among the subgroups were found. Muscle degeneration and endomysial fibrosis scores were negatively correlated with muscle power (r=-0.23 and-0.24, respectively, p&lt;0.05) and positively correlated with CK (r=0.27 and 0.39, respectively, p&lt;0.01).
