We aimed to examine the contribution of subjective cognitive decline (SCD) to reduce the number of β-amyloid (Aβ) positron emission tomography scans required for recruiting Aβ+ clinically normal individuals in clinical trials.
Three independent cohorts (890 clinically normal: 72 yrs ± 6.7; Female: 43.4%; SCD+: 24%; apolipoprotein E [] ε4+: 28.5%; Aβ+: 32%) were used. SCD was dichotomized from one question. Using logistic regression, we classified Aβ+ using the SCD dichotomy, ε4, sex, and age.
SCD increased odds of Aβ+ by 1.58 relative to non-SCD. Female ε4 carriers with SCD exhibited higher odds of Aβ+ (OR = 3.34), whereas male carriers with SCD showed a weaker, opposing effect (OR = 0.37). SCD endorsement reduces the number of Aβ positron emission tomography scans to recruit Aβ+ individuals by 13% and by 9% if ε4 status is known.
SCD helps to classify those with high Aβ, even beyond the substantial effect of genotype. Collecting SCD is a feasible method for targeting recruitment for those likely on the AD trajectory.
我们旨在研究主观认知下降(SCD)对减少临床试验中招募β淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)阳性临床正常个体所需的Aβ正电子发射断层扫描数量的作用。
使用了三个独立队列(890名临床正常个体:年龄72岁±6.7岁;女性占43.4%;SCD阳性占24%;载脂蛋白E [ε4] 阳性占28.5%;Aβ阳性占32%)。SCD通过一个问题进行二分法划分。我们使用逻辑回归,根据SCD二分法、ε4、性别和年龄对Aβ阳性进行分类。
与非SCD相比,SCD使Aβ阳性的几率增加了1.58倍。患有SCD的女性ε4携带者表现出更高的Aβ阳性几率(OR = 3.34),而患有SCD的男性携带者则表现出较弱的相反效应(OR = 0.37)。如果已知ε4状态,认可SCD可将招募Aβ阳性个体所需的Aβ正电子发射断层扫描数量减少13%,若不知ε4状态则减少9%。
SCD有助于对Aβ水平高的个体进行分类,甚至超越了基因型的显著影响。收集SCD是针对可能处于阿尔茨海默病轨迹的个体进行招募的一种可行方法。
