Key result

Amyloid and tau biomarkers become increasingly abnormal from subjective cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease and may help identify individuals who will cognitively decline.

Why the study?

Can amyloid and tau biomarkers differentiate individuals with subjective cognitive impairment from healthy controls or predict cognitive decline?

Population

Individuals with subjective cognitive impairment (SCI)

Comparison

Overview

May aid risk stratification in subjective cognitive impairment but should not yet change practice; leaves open need for prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Can amyloid and tau biomarkers differentiate individuals with subjective cognitive impairment from healthy controls or predict cognitive decline?

P
Population
Individuals with subjective cognitive impairment (SCI)
I
Intervention
Amyloid and tau biomarkers
C
Comparator
Healthy controls
O
Outcome
Differentiation between SCI and healthy controls, and prediction of cognitive declinesurrogate

Amyloid and tau biomarkers may help identify individuals with subjective cognitive impairment who are at risk for future cognitive decline, though they cannot differentiate SCI from healthy controls.

Limitations

  • Amyloid and tau biomarkers appear to be unable to differentiate between SCI and healthy controls.

Cite This Study

Colijn et al. (2015) conducted a review in Subjective cognitive impairment (SCI). Amyloid and tau biomarkers vs. Healthy controls was evaluated. Amyloid and tau biomarkers become increasingly abnormal from subjective cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease and may help identify individuals who will cognitively decline.
