Background: Pharmacoepidemiologic studies assessing drug effectiveness for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are increasingly popular given the critical need for effective therapies for ADRD. To meet the urgent need for robust dementia ascertainment from real-world data, we aimed to develop a novel algorithm for identifying incident and prevalent dementia in claims.

Method: We developed algorithm candidates by different timing/frequency of dementia diagnosis/treatment to identify dementia from inpatient/outpatient/prescription claims for 6,515 and 3,997 participants from Visits 5 (2011-2013; mean age 75.

Background: There is an urgent need for new therapeutic and diagnostic targets for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Dementia afflicts roughly 55 million individuals worldwide, and the prevalence is increasing with longer lifespans and the absence of preventive therapies. Given the demonstrated heterogeneity of Alzheimer's disease in biological and genetic components, it is critical to identify new therapeutic approaches.

Background: Only about 50% of the variance in cognitive decline occurring during Alzheimer's pathogenesis is attributable to standard AD biomarkers (cerebrocortical Aβ, pathological tau, and atrophy) (Tosun et al., Alzheimer's Dement. 18: 1370, 2022).

Background: As amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregates are considered as the biomarkers and key factors in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease, there has been extensive investigation into Aβ-targeting compounds for the development of diagnostics and drug discovery related to the disorder. However, the polymorphic and heterogenous nature of Aβ aggregates impedes the structural understanding of their structure. Consequently it is a major challenge to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic development of AD and to study the mechanism of Aβ-targeting compounds.

Sanders-Brown Center on Aging, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA.

Background: Some types of cancer have been associated with reduced risk of clinical dementia diagnosis. Whether cancer history may be associated with neuropathological features of neurodegeneration or cerebrovascular disease is not well understood. We investigated the relation between cancer diagnosis and brain pathology in a sample of community-based research volunteers enrolled in an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) cohort.
