INTRODUCTION: Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities with microhaemorrhage (ARIA-H) are an important safety consideration with anti-amyloid therapies, yet evidence exploring short-term risk prediction remains limited. METHODS: We analysed longitudinal MRI data from the A4 study, constructing a discrete person-interval dataset for modelling the short-term risk of ARIA-H. Models incorporated baseline covariates, alongside dynamic variables of recent microhaemorrhage accumulation and current microhaemorrhage burden. Incident ARIA-H was defined as 2 or more new microhaemorrhages or 1 or more new superficial siderosis between consecutive MRI scans. RESULTS: Among 1,069 participants (3,647 intervals), 171 ARIA-H events occurred. Both current burden (time-to-event: OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.09-1.73; all-event: OR 1.24, 95% CI: 1.04-1.49) and recent microhaemorrhage accumulation (time-to-event: OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.01-3.30; all-event: OR 1.43, 95% CI: 1.00-2.04) were independently associated with an increased risk of ARIA-H. DISCUSSION: Temporal imaging variables may provide independent prognostic information beyond baseline risk, supporting a dynamic model of haemorrhagic risk in Alzheimer's disease.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
