Prognostic utility of <i>p</i> ‐tau217 and tau PET in Alzheimer's disease

We found that p-tau217 positivity does not lead to a clear added prognostic value to tau PET in assessing risk of clinical progression in individuals with preclinical AD, particularly when measuring neocortical tau PET signal. These findings support imaging biomarkers as the primary prognostic tools for predicting cognitive impairment in early AD stages.

Abstract

We found that p-tau217 positivity does not lead to a clear added prognostic value to tau PET in assessing risk of clinical progression in individuals with preclinical AD, particularly when measuring neocortical tau PET signal. These findings support imaging biomarkers as the primary prognostic tools for predicting cognitive impairment in early AD stages.
