  1. Data are expressed as mean and standard deviation (SD) or number (n) and percentage (%), as appropriate.
  2. *The CSF core biomarkers measurements were performed using the electrochemiluminiscence immunoassays Elecsys Total-tau CSF, phosphor-tau(181P) CSF and β-amyloid(1-42) CSF, which have an upper technical limit of 1300 pg/ml (T-tau), 120pg/ml (P-tau181P) or 1700 pg/ml (Aβ1-42). The values above these limits were truncated to the respective upper technical limit.
