Large neuroimaging datasets play a crucial role in longitudinal modelling and prediction of neurodegenerative diseases, as they provide the opportunity to study biomarker trajectories over time. Noteworthy, the availability of these large datasets coexists with a paradigm shift in the theoretical understanding of these diseases: while classical studies aimed at defining disease signatures as group patterns obtained with static cross-sectional analyses, novel approaches focus on providing individual predictions in the context of phenotypical and temporal heterogeneity. This scenario is often aggravated by the fact that datasets are not homogeneous and suffer from missing points and noisy data.

Background: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are small, round aggregations of hemosiderin-laden macrophages that indicate leakage of blood products from cerebral vessels damaged by β-amyloid-40 (Aβ), which is the basis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). Pathology studies have demonstrated a high correlation between CAA and AD, both amyloid-related pathologies. CMBs can be visualized commonly using T2*-weighted MRI, as small foci of decreased signal intensity.

Background: General practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in recognizing cognitive deficits and diagnosing dementia. Currently, dementia diagnosis in primary care is prone to be missed or delayed. Electronic health records from GPs can offer insights into the trajectory leading up to a dementia diagnosis.

Background: Longitudinal studies of Alzheimer's and related dementias (ADRD) are crucial to understanding disease progression. Retention among study participants is vital to successful longitudinal research, as dropout can skew the subject population in ways that significantly compromise study outcomes (e.g.

Background: Recent breakthroughs in the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease underscore the critical needs for early detection. In clinical settings, the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) is often delayed or overlooked, potentially missing critical opportunities for timely care and treatment. Cognitive symptoms can appear many years before the stage of dementia, potentially serving as a trigger for thorough cognitive assessments, which could prompt an early diagnosis of cognitive decline.
