Table 3. Association between cognitive function and PDM derived indices of cerebrovascular reactivity and pressure autoregulation.

β (SE), p-value β (SE), p-value
TMT, Part A 0.02(0.04), p=0.63 0.09(0.06), p=0.15
TMT, Part B -0.11(0.06), p=0.05 0.04(0.08), p=0.68

HVLT, recognition 0.35(0.24), p=0.16 -0.22(0.35), p=0.53
Digit Span, Forward -0.16(0.2), p=0.42 -0.42(0.27), p=0.13

SE= standard error; TMT=Trail Making Test; B-A: Part B minus Part A; HVLT: Hopkins Verbal Learning Test; Slope (β), standard errors and p-values were obtained from the regression models adjusted for age and systolic blood pressure. TMT (A, B, and B-A) were transformed using a logarithmic transformation due to their skewed distribution.
