  1. CSF biomarker variability in the Alzheimer's Association quality control program

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2013-05-01 Tau biomarkers

    The overall variability remains too high to allow assignment of universal biomarker cutoff values for a specific intended use.

  2. The Alzheimer's Association external quality control program for cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2011-07-01 Tau biomarkers

    Measurements of CSF AD biomarkers show large between-laboratory variability, likely caused by factors related to analytical procedures and the analytical kits.
