Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To identify combinations of background factors and clinical indicators useful for prescreening Amyloid-beta accumulation in the brain of patients with MCI due to AD/preclinical AD, based on subject background (age, gender, comorbidities, medical history, lifestyle, educational history, etc.) and clinical laboratory data (general blood test values, etc.) accessible to primary care doctors.

260

Results

The classification performance using L2-regularized logistic regression showed that Model 1 (demographic characteristics, MMSE subscores) and Model 2 (demographic characteristics, blood test results) had similar performance (ROC AUC [SD], 0.70 [0.01]). However, Model 3 (demographic characteristics, blood test results, MMSE subscores) demonstrated improved performance (ROC AUC [SD], 0.73 [0.01]). The most important variables were MMSE subscores for delayed recall and orientation place, age, TSH, and MCV.

Baseline Characteristics

In total, 38.5% (101/262) of participant records were amyloid-beta positive, 79.8% (209/262) had MCI (CDR = 0.5), and 20.2% (53/262) were cognitively normal (CDR = 0). The mean (SD) age was 73.8 (7.8) years, 51.9% (136/262) were male, and the mean (SD) MMSE score was 26.3 (2.4).

Participant flow

Of the 855 patients in the USUKI cohort and the 230 patients who visited Oita University Hospital, 703 and 71, respectively, were excluded because they did not have amyloid PiB-PET data, and 8 and 13, respectively, because they had a CDR > 0.5; additionally, 1 case in the USUKI cohort was excluded because of an MMSE score < 20, indicating dementia, and 4 in Oita University Hospital because they did not have CDR data. No participants were excluded because of a large number of missing or abnormal values. The participant with the most missing values had 11 of 34 variables missing (11 MMSE subscores). Prior to analysis, it was determined that exclusion of this participant because of the high number of missing values was not necessary. Note that out of 285, two participants overlapped across the two cohorts, and therefore the dataset screened for eligibility included 283 unique participants. The overlapping records for the two participants were treated as separate records because the PiB-PET scan dates were approximately 4 years apart between the two cohorts. Overall, 285 records of participants with MCI or normal cognitive function were screened for eligibility and 262 (260 unique participants) were included in the analysis set; 22 were excluded because there was a > 365-day period between their PiB-PET and the collection of data related to other variables, and one patient in the USUKI cohort was excluded because of missing blood test records.

Adverse events


Outcome measures

The primary endpoint was the classification performance of the presence or absence of intracerebral amyloid-beta accumulation using five different machine learning models.
・ Model 0: demographic characteristics (age, sex, body mass index, years of education)
・ Model 1: Model 0 plus all MMSE subscores
・ Model 2: Model 0 plus blood test results (excluding ApoE4 phenotype) and the other demographic characteristics (medical history, current alcohol consumption, smoking status)
・ Model 3: Model 2 plus all MMSE subscores
・ Model 4: Model 3 plus ApoE4 phenotype
The true label for positive amyloid-beta accumulation, or the positive presence of intracerebral amyloid-beta accumulation, was defined as a mean PiB standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) of 1.2 or higher.
