アミロイド陽性率のアルツハイマー病におけるアミロイドPET、脳脊髄液、および血漿からの確率
Abstract:
Blood-based biomarkers are increasingly used to triage patients for amyloid confirmation, yet performance is often reported versus a single comparator despite discordance between amyloid PET and CSF. In a cross-sectional secondary analysis of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), we assembled one PET-anchored PET-CSF-plasma triad per participant (n = 320). Bayesian latent class models integrating PET, CSF and plasma (Aβ42/40 or %p-tau217) estimated pattern-level posterior probabilities of latent amyloid positivity, with prespecified sensitivity analyses for PET-CSF conditional dependence, timing gaps (≤ 7, 8-30, > 30 days) and CSF cutpoints. Concordant PET+/CSF + and PET-/CSF - patterns mapped to probabilities near 1 and 0, whereas discordant patterns yielded intermediate probabilities refined by plasma strata and most sensitive to dependence assumptions. PET-CSF discordance occurred even within ≤ 7 days (12/98; 12%). A CSF Aβ42 coverage analysis showed similar gradients. Pattern-to-probability reporting may aid interpretation without privileging a reference test.
