Article Synopsis
- Concerns have been raised about the cost of autopsies for diagnosing Alzheimer's and related dementias since the 2012 NIA-AA Guidelines were published.
- A new Condensed Protocol has been developed and validated for diagnosing various neuropathologic conditions, which now includes additional diagnoses like frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and TDP-43 encephalopathies.
- The updated protocol significantly reduces costs by about 65% while maintaining diagnostic accuracy, as confirmed by neuropathologists blind to prior assessments.
