CSF marker stratified for presence of cSS.
| Total (n = 101) | CSS (n = 62) | No cSS (n = 39) | P | OR (95% CI) | |

| Aß42 (pg/ml), median (IQR) | 474 (352–629) | 400 (326–566) | 575 (474–730) | 0.005 | 0.2 [0.08–0.7] |
| Aß40 (pg/ml), median IQR | 8,079 (6,803–10,603) (n = 79) | 8,170 (7,284–9,534) (n = 44) | 7,906 (6,410–13,917) (n = 35) | 0.8 | 0.8 [0.3–2.6] |
| T-tau (pg/ml), median (IQR) | 322 (242–431) | 319 (251–436) | 331 (216–429) | 0.1 | 1.9 [0.8–4.5] |

| Aß42/40 ratio, median (IQR) | 0.06 (0.04–0.08) (n = 79) | 0.05 (0.04–0.07) (n = 44) | 0.08 (0.04–0.09) (n = 35) | 0.009 | 0.3 [0.08–0.7] |
Logistic regression with adjustment for age, sex, number of cerebral microbleeds, MMSE, cholesterol, diabetes, and hypertension. All CSF marker levels were log-transformed for regression analysis. Odds Ratios correspond to one unit increase in log-transformed levels. Where data were missing; the number of subjects for which data were available is indicated within parentheses. SD, standard deviation; t-tau, total tau; p-tau, phosphorylated tau; Aß42, ß-amyloid 1–42; Aß40, ß-amyloid 1–40; cSS, cortical superficial siderosis; CSF, Cerebrospinal fluid; MMSE, Mini Mental State Examination; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval. Significant values are indicated in bold.
