Values are median (IQR) or n (%). Only the volume of patients showing the presence of lesions was taken into account. Missing values: microbleed count (n=55), white matter hyperintensities (n=1).
LNCCI, large noncortical and cortical infarcts (including acute lesions); SNCI, small noncortical infarcts (including acute lesions).
