The sample median (minimum, maximum) is given for continuous variables. Information was unavailable for Thal amyloid phase (N = 40), Lewy body counts in the middle frontal (N = 20), superior temporal (N = 21), inferior parietal (N = 21), cingulate (N = 27), and parahippocampal (N = 88) gyri, dorsolateral putaminal TH-ir (N = 107), ventromedial putaminal TH-ir (N = 107), ventrolateral SN neuronal loss score (N = 112), and medial SN neuronal loss score (N = 139).
