  1. Accuracy of plasma biomarkers to detect Alzheimer's disease proteinopathy prior to dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-03-01 Biomarkers

    These findings suggest that C 2 N Diagnostics' MS-based plasma biomarkers can detect brain amyloid and tau with high accuracy prior to dementia and could aid in identifying candidates for clinical trials or therapeutic intervention.

  2. Accuracy and clinical applicability of plasma tau 181 and 217 for Alzheimer's disease diagnosis in a memory clinic cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Journal of neurology 2025-01-23 Biomarkers

    Plasma tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (p-tau181) and 217 (p-tau217) have demonstrated high accuracy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis, defined by CSF/PET amyloid beta (Aβ) positivity, but most studies have been performed in research cohorts, limiting their generalizability.

  3. Diagnostic test accuracy of remote, multidomain cognitive assessment (telephone and video call) for dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 81 out of 100. The Cochrane database of systematic reviews 2022-04-08 Cognitive tests and assessment

    To assess for potential differences in cognitive test scoring when using a remote platform, and where a remote screener was compared to the equivalent face-to-face test.

  4. The CSF p-tau181/Aβ42 Ratio Offers a Good Accuracy "In Vivo" in the Differential Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Current Alzheimer research 2019-01-01 Biomarkers

    The p-tau181/Aβ42 ratio alone might reliably detect AD pathology in heterogeneous samples of patients suffering from different types of dementia.

  5. Diagnostic test accuracy of a novel smartphone application for the assessment of attention deficits in delirium in older hospitalised patients: a prospective cohort study protocol

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. BMC geriatrics 2018-09-17 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Measures of the accuracy of DelApp will include sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and area under the ROC curve.
