General assessment of late outcome according to APOE genotype

APOE genotype
ε4 negativeε4 positive
General assessment of functional outcome 15 to 25 years after a head injury for carriers and non-carriers of APOE ε4.
Values are n (%).
*These results are based on 418 patients: the 396 who underwent neuropsychological assessment together with a further 22 where GOSE and APOE genotype were available.
GOSE, extended Glasgow outcome scale; MMSE, mini-mental state examination.
