Deep-learning based multi-modal models for brain age, cognition and amyloid pathology prediction.

Alzheimer's research & therapy
BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), combined with artificial intelligence techniques, has improved our understanding of brain structural change and enabled the estimation of brain age. Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's diseas...

Diagnostic performance of actigraphy in Alzheimer's disease using a machine learning classifier - a cross-sectional memory clinic study.

Alzheimer's research & therapy
BACKGROUND: Movement patterns, activity levels and circadian rhythm are altered in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and can be assessed by actigraphy using wearable sensors. We aimed to determine the diagnostic performance of actigraphy in AD in a memory cli...

Deep normative modelling reveals insights into early-stage Alzheimer's disease using multi-modal neuroimaging data.

Alzheimer's research & therapy
BACKGROUND: Exploring the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is crucial for timely intervention to help manage symptoms and set expectations for affected individuals and their families. However, the study of the early stages of AD involves anal...

Development and validation of a novel predictive model for dementia risk in middle-aged and elderly depression individuals: a large and longitudinal machine learning cohort study.

Alzheimer's research & therapy
BACKGROUND: Depression serves as a prodromal symptom of dementia, and individuals with depression exhibit a significantly higher risk of developing dementia. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a novel dementia risk prediction tool among...

Prediction of cognitive conversion within the Alzheimer's disease continuum using deep learning.

Alzheimer's research & therapy
BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis and accurate prognosis of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is important to timely assignment to optimal treatment modes. We aimed to develop a deep learning model to predict cognitive conversion to guide re-as...

Machine learning models for dementia screening to classify brain amyloid positivity on positron emission tomography using blood markers and demographic characteristics: a retrospective observational study.

Alzheimer's research & therapy
BACKGROUND: Intracerebral amyloid β (Aβ) accumulation is considered the initial observable event in the pathological process of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Efficient screening for amyloid pathology is critical for identifying patients for early treatme...

Development of an individualized dementia risk prediction model using deep learning survival analysis incorporating genetic and environmental factors.

Alzheimer's research & therapy
BACKGROUND: Dementia is a major public health challenge in modern society. Early detection of high-risk dementia patients and timely intervention or treatment are of significant clinical importance. Neural network survival analysis represents the mos...

Understanding machine learning applications in dementia research and clinical practice: a review for biomedical scientists and clinicians.

Alzheimer's research & therapy
Several (inter)national longitudinal dementia observational datasets encompassing demographic information, neuroimaging, biomarkers, neuropsychological evaluations, and muti-omics data, have ushered in a new era of potential for integrating machine l...

Identification of profiles associated with conversions between the Alzheimer's disease stages, using a machine learning approach.

Alzheimer's research & therapy
BACKGROUND: The identification of factors involved in the conversion across the different Alzheimer's disease (AD) stages is crucial to prevent or slow the disease progression. We aimed to assess the factors and their combination associated with the ...
