All factors are analyzed as categorical variables. Univariate Models: each factor is alone in the model. Full Model: all factors are in the model; thus, each factor may be considered adjusted for the other factors. Reduced Model: only the factors in which the lower 95% CI exceeded 10 in at least one stratum, specifically dose and APOE ε4 genotype. ARIA-E, amyloid-related imaging abnormalities thought to represent parenchymal vasogenic edema and sulcal effusions; ApoE ε4, apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 allele frequency; CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; APOE ε4 = apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 allele frequency. These analyses were performed on a subset of data with complete information on all four factors, total subjects n= 204, ARIA-E events n = 35; hence the number of subjects differs slightly from that in the descriptive summary found in Table 1.
