Model 1 contains univariable regression for GDS-15 and delirium. Model 2 adds demographic variables. Model 3 adds MMSE and CCI variables. Model 4 adds the CSF A 42/p-tau181 variable. Z and p values calculated by linear regression, adjusted for covariates as indicated for each model.

Abbreviations: Aβ42/p-tau181 = CSF amyloid-beta 1–42 to phosphorylated tau181 ratio; CCI, Charlson Comorbidity Index;29 CI, Confidence Interval; Geriatrics Depression Scale-15 (short form)21 (15 items, max. score = 15 points; higher score = worse depression; cut-off score of >5 for depression); MMSE, Mini-Mental State Examination24 (10 items, max. score = 30 points).
