NOTE. Linear regression models assessing relationships between mean pRNFL and perifoveal macular thickness (inner + outer ring) with visual rating scores on MRI (GCA, PCA, MTA, and Fazekas) and CSF biomarkers (Aβ1–42, Tau-181, pTau, and Tau/Aβ ratio) adjusted for age and sex (male = 1, female = 0) in the total cohort. Standardized β's and uncorrected P values are shown. Significant findings after Bonferroni correction (0.05/8 = 0.006) are shown in bold. MRI subgroup (n = 134) and CSF subgroup (n = 90).
