  • Note:—mH indicates microhemorrhage; SS, siderosis; NC, APOEε4 noncarrier; C, APOEε4 carrier; SUVR, standardized uptake value ratio; –, none or not reported.

  • a ARIA incidence reported for the highest dose in studies with variable dosing arms. ARIA incidence reported for all participants and separately for APOEε4 noncarriers and carriers when data are available.
