Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities-edema (ARIA-E) is associated with anti-amyloid beta monoclonal antibody treatment. ARIA-E severity may be assessed using the Barkhof Grand Total Scale (BGTS) or the 3- or 5-point Severity Scales of ARIA-E (SSAE-3/SSAE-5). We assessed inter- and intra-reader correlations between SSAE-3/5 and BGTS.
Magnetic resonance imaging scans were collected from 75 participants in the SCarlet RoAD and Marguerite RoAD studies. Three neuroradiologists reviewed scans at baseline and at follow-up. Concordance in dichotomized ARIA-E ratings was assessed for a range of BGTS thresholds.
SSAE-3/5 scores correlated with BGTS scores, with high inter-reader intraclass correlation coefficients across all scales. There was high agreement in dichotomized ratings for SSAE-3 > 1 versus BGTS > 3 for all readers (accuracy 0.85-0.93) and between pairs of readers.
SSAE-3/5 showed high degrees of correlation with BGTS, potentially allowing seamless transition from the BGTS to SSAE-3/5 for ARIA-E management.
淀粉样蛋白相关成像异常-水肿(ARIA-E)与抗淀粉样蛋白β单克隆抗体治疗相关。ARIA-E的严重程度可使用巴克霍夫总分量表(BGTS)或ARIA-E严重程度3分或5分量表(SSAE-3/SSAE-5)进行评估。我们评估了SSAE-3/5与BGTS之间的阅片者间及阅片者内相关性。
收集了来自“猩红色之路”和“玛格丽特之路”研究中75名参与者的磁共振成像扫描数据。三名神经放射科医生在基线和随访时对扫描结果进行了评估。针对一系列BGTS阈值,评估了二分法ARIA-E评级的一致性。
SSAE-3/5评分与BGTS评分相关,所有量表的阅片者间组内相关系数均较高。对于所有阅片者(准确率0.85-0.93)以及阅片者对之间,SSAE-3>1与BGTS>3的二分法评级具有高度一致性。
SSAE-3/5与BGTS显示出高度相关性,这可能允许在ARIA-E管理中从BGTS无缝过渡到SSAE-3/5。
