Article Synopsis
- Limited information exists on how Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) affect short-term prognoses alongside standard diagnostic assessments.
- In a study involving 114 memory clinic patients, experts evaluated cognitive and functional symptoms based on routine tests, both with and without CSF biomarkers, to see how well they could predict clinical decline over 2 years.
- The findings showed no significant difference in prediction accuracy between assessments with (74%) and without (79%) CSF biomarkers, indicating that standard diagnostic methods alone can make fairly accurate predictions about the progression of symptoms in suspected cognitive disorders.
