Associations between global cortical non-displaceable binding potential of Aβ and vessel densities/foveal avascular zone, given in ratios due to a log transformation applied to the dependent variable
Global cortical non-displaceable binding potential of Aβ | ||||
Ratio | Raw p value | 95% CI | Adjusted p value | |
Retinal vessel density | ||||
Inner ring macula* | 2.28 | 0.016 | 1.21 to 6.41 | 0.064 |
Outer ring macula* | 3.74 | 0.052 | 0.99 to 14.1 | 0.156 |
Around optic nerve head* | 0.86 | 0.654 | 0.43 to 1.69 | 0.654 |
Foveal avascular zone (mm2) | 0.59 | 0.356 | 0.19 to 1.80 | 0.712 |
GEE, corrected for age, gender, scan quality and diagnosis of diabetes.
*Reported in steps of 10. Adjusted p values were calculated using the Holm-Bonferroni method.
Aβ, amyloid-beta; GEE, generalised estimating equations.
