摘要: Recruitment is often a bottleneck in secondary prevention trials Alzheimer disease (AD). Furthermore, screen-failure rates these are typically high due to relatively low prevalence of AD pathology individuals without dementia, especially among cognitively unimpaired. Prescreening on risk factors may facilitate recruitment, but the efficiency will depend how link participation and pathology. We investigated whether common AD-related predict trial-ready cohort amyloid status across different prescreen settings. monitored prescreening four cohorts linked European Prevention Dementia (EPAD) Registry (n = 16,877; mean ± SD age = 64 ± 8 years). These included clinical cohort, research in-person online population-based cohort. Individuals were asked participate EPAD longitudinal study (EPAD-LCS), which serves as for trials. Amyloid positivity was measured cerebrospinal fluid part EPAD-LCS assessment. calculated numbers needed (NNPS) per participant that amyloid-positive. tested if age, sex, education level, APOE status, family history memory complaints or scores, previously collected cohorts, could status. A total 2595 participants contacted EPAD-LCS. Participation varied by setting between 3 59%. The NNPS 6.9 (clinical cohort), 7.5 (research 8.4 88.5 (population-based cohort). (n = 413 (16%)) associated with lower age (odds ratio (OR) age = 0.97 [0.95–0.99]), (OR = 1.64 [1.23–2.17]), male sex (OR = 1.56 [1.19–2.04]), positive dementia (OR = 1.66 [1.19–2.31]). Among EPAD-LCS, (33%) higher (OR = 1.06 [1.02–1.10]) ɛ4 allele carriership (OR = 2.99 [1.81–4.94]). results similar Numbers greatly Understanding informative recruitment strategy studies AD.
