Table 5 Odds ratios of the imaging parameters based on multivariate logistic regression analysis. In Model 2, covariates were age, sex, diagnosis, susceptibility sequence type [susceptibility weighted image (SWI) vs. T2*-weighted gradient echo (GRE)], body mass index (BMI), hypertension, diabetes, ischemic heart disease (IHD), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), prior use of antithrombotics, and dyslipidemia. In Model 3, covariates were age, sex, diagnosis, MRI field strength (3 T vs. 1.5 T), BMI, hypertension, diabetes, IHD, eGFR, prior use of antithrombotics, and dyslipidemia. OCNPi ocular cranial nerve palsy of presumed ischemic origin, CMBs cerebral microbleeds, CI confidence interval.
