Abstract

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers and neuropsychiatric symptoms in people with Alzheimer's disease. Psychosis, agitation, apathy and depression were assessed using standardised measures in 32 patients with mild Alzheimer's disease. METHODS: The levels of the 42-amino-acid form of beta-amyloid (A beta(1-42)), tau and p-tau (phosphorylated at threonine 181) were quantified using the conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. RESULTS: Our result shows that apathy is significantly correlated with tau and p-tau but not with A beta(1-42). There were no significant correlations between indices of psychosis/agitation,or depression and cerebrospinal fluid A beta(1-42), tau or p-tau concentrations. CONCLUSION: Our finding suggests that apathy is associated with the level of neurofibrillary tangles in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. In contrast, the overall levels of neurofibrillary tangles or amyloid plaques do not seem to be associated with depression or psychosis, indicating that other brain changes contribute to these symptoms.

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.
