Correction: Alz Res Therapy 16, 105 (2024)

10.1186/s13195-024-01441-8

Following publication of the original article [1], several typographical errors were observed:

  • In Table 2, recurrent ARIA-E for ApoE carriers should be 3.8% (not 11.7%).

  • In Table 2, there were several incorrect indentations for several rows (old and updated versions of Table 2 are presented below).

  • There are two places on page 6 where ‘ARIA-E’ should be ‘ARIA’.

  • In Table 5, the asterisk in right column should be a superscript ‘1’. The footnote should have an end parenthesis at end of the footnote sentence below the table.

Moreover, Supplementary material 1 (.docx) has been replaced with its pdf version with modification in Table S4 - ID21 (the participant should be “male” instead of “female”).

The old version of Table 2:
