  1. Data is reported as median with IQR [Q1,Q3] or number as appropriate. P-values were calculated with Fisher’s-exact and Mann–Whitney U test
  2. Significance level was set at 0.05. Total ACE-R, ACE-R memory, ACE-R Fluency, ACE-R Language and ACE-R Perception values were missing in 4 patients with and 6 patients without SEA, ACE-R Orientation, ACE-R Concentration and ACE-R Praxis were missing in 3 patients with and 6 patients without SEA, TMT values in 2 patients with and 5 patients without SEA RBANS values in 3 patients with and 12 patients without SEA, GDeprS in 2 patients with and 10 patients without SEA and PSQI in 1 patient with and 2 patients without SEA
