Topic: Amyloid, tau and blood-test diagnosis

Results Cognitive and neuropsychological scores differed significantly among the groups, with descending performance among CN>SCD>MCI>AD. We determined the Aβ-PET status in a subgroup without CSF (n = 143), and then when we applied CSF biomarker cutoffs determined based on the Aβ-PET status, the CSF biomarkers (cutoffs of 642.1 pg/mL for Aβ42, 0.060 for Aβ42/Aβ40, 0.315 for t-tau/Aβ42, and 0.051 for p-tau/Aβ42, respectively) showed good agreement with Aβ-PET (overall AUC ranges of 0.840-0.898). Use of the Aβ-PET-based CSF cutoffs showed excellent diagnostic discrimination between AD and CN (Aβ42, Aβ42/Aβ40, t-tau/Aβ42, and p-tau/Aβ42) with overall AUC ranges of 0.876-0.952. During follow-up, participants with AD-like CSF signature determined by Aβ-PET-based cutoffs from Lumipulse showed rapid progression of cognitive decline in 139 subjects, after adjustment for potential confounders, compared with those with a normal CSF signature.

Published in a peer-reviewed journal, and it is a longitudinal study following the same people over time. Scored zero for effect reported and randomized / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multicenter collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 39 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 67 out of 100.
