Amyloid Imaging and Longitudinal Clinical Progression in Dementia With Lewy Bodies

Open access

Abstract

Objective Significant amyloid deposition is present in approximately half of all cases of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). We sought to determine whether amyloid deposition was associated with more rapid clinical decline over 1 year. Methods Twenty-eight participants had a baseline clinical assessment and amyloid PET scan, followed by a further clinical assessment after 1 year. Changes in clinical measures were compared with amyloid deposition assessed by visual rating and cortical standardized uptake value ratio. Results Amyloid deposition on visual rating was associated with greater decline in Mini-Mental State Examination and daily function over 1 year. There was no correlation between cortical standardized uptake value ratio and clinical measures. Conclusions This study provides further evidence for a link between amyloid deposition and clinical progression in DLB. Pathologies such as amyloid, and their interaction with α-synuclein, remain possible treatment targets in DLB.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Aβ pathology is present in approximately 50% of DLB patients.

    “Αβ pathology is present in ~50% of DLB patients and the use of amyloid PET cannot be used for the differential diagnosis of AD and DLB, that are two of the most common types of dementia [174].”
  • Amyloid PET cannot be used for differential diagnosis of AD and DLB.

    “Αβ pathology is present in ~50% of DLB patients and the use of amyloid PET cannot be used for the differential diagnosis of AD and DLB, that are two of the most common types of dementia [174].”
  • Amyloid PET has been associated with cortical thinning in the hippocampus and greater grey matter loss in the cingulate gyrus and temporal lobe in DLB.

    “Amyloid PET has however been associated with cortical thinning in the hippocampus and greater grey matter loss in the cingulate gyrus and temporal lobe in DLB and this may be suggestive of faster neurodegeneration and worse clinical progression in positive Aβ LBD compared to negative status [46, 174, 176].”
  • Amyloid PET positivity in LBD may be suggestive of faster neurodegeneration and worse clinical progression compared to negative status.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
