Abstract

Introduction: The optimal combination of amyloid-β/tau/neurodegeneration (A/T/N) biomarker profiles for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia is unclear. Methods: We examined the discriminative accuracy of A/T/N combinations assessed with neuroimaging biomarkers for the differentiation of AD from cognitively unimpaired (CU) elderly and non-AD neurodegenerative diseases in the TRIAD, BioFINDER-1 and BioFINDER-2 cohorts (total n = 832) using area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC). Results: For the diagnosis of AD dementia (vs. CU elderly), T biomarkers performed as well as the complete A/T/N system (AUC range: 0.90–0.99). A and T biomarkers in isolation performed as well as the complete A/T/N system in... (More)

Results: For the diagnosis of AD dementia (vs. CU elderly), T biomarkers performed as well as the complete A/T/N system (AUC range: 0.90–0.99). A and T biomarkers in isolation performed as well as the complete A/T/N system in differentiating AD dementia from non-AD neurodegenerative diseases (AUC range; A biomarker: 0.84–1; T biomarker: 0.83–1). Discussion: In diagnostic settings, the use of A or T neuroimaging biomarkers alone can reduce patient burden and medical costs compared with using their combination, without significantly compromising accuracy.
