  1. Serum neurofilament indicates accelerated neurodegeneration and predicts mortality in late-stage Parkinson's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. NPJ Parkinson's disease 2024-01-09 Biomarkers

    Different stages of Parkinson's disease (PD) are defined by clinical criteria, while late-stage PD is marked by the onset of morbidity milestones and rapid clinical deterioration.

  2. Dementia and CSF-biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease predict mortality after acute hip fracture

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Acta anaesthesiologica Scandinavica 2019-10-23 Biomarkers

    Cognitive impairment and altered CSF biomarker concentrations indicative of AD pathology can predict increased mortality in patients with an AHF, and so probably even before clinical dementia diagnosis by early biomarker analysis; a notion that may have substantial clinical implications by improving perioperative treatment and postoperative rehabilitation.
