  1. Clinical performance of the fully automated Lumipulse plasma p-tau217 assay in mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2025-01-01 Biomarkers

    Our real-world data support the clinical use of fully automated plasma p-tau217 immunoassays, although further studies in more diverse cohorts are required.

  2. Clinical performance of an antibody-free assay for plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 to detect early alterations of Alzheimer's disease in individuals with subjective cognitive decline

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2023-01-05 Biomarkers

    This study suggests that plasma Aβ42/Aβ40, as determined by this MS-based assay, has potential value as an accurate and cost-effective tool to identify individuals in the earliest stages of AD, supporting its implementation in clinical trials, preventative strategies and clinical practice.

  3. Qualification of the analytical and clinical performance of CSF biomarker analyses in ADNI

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2011-02-11 Tau biomarkers

    To account for the combined effects on overall precision of CSF samples (fixed effect), different laboratories and analytical runs (random effects), these data were analyzed by mixed-effects modeling with the following results: within center %CV 95% CI values (mean) of 4.0-6.0% (5.3%) for CSF Aβ(1-42); 6.4-6.8% (6.7%) for t-tau and 5.5-18.0% (10.8%) for p-tau(181) and inter-center %CV 95% CI range of 15.9-19.8% (17.9%) for Aβ(1-42), 9.6-15.2% (13.1%) for t-tau and 11.3-18.2% (14.6%) for p-tau(181).
