Abbreviations: MCI, mild cognitive impairment; OR, odds ratio; PET, positron emission tomography.

a

Results considered significant at P < .0036 after Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.

b

Analysis set (n = 11 400) did not include 9 cases with uninterpretable amyloid PET results.

c

The 3-way interaction of amyloid PET result × primary pre-PET etiologic diagnosis × level of impairment and the 2-way interaction of primary pre-PET etiologic diagnosis × level of impairment were not significant (P = .91 and P = .89, respectively). The estimated Akaike Information Criterion for the full model, including these 2 interactions, was 50 474.5 and for the reduced, final model was 50 469.5.
