Abstract EN
There has been a large increase in the amount of research seeking to define or diagnose Alzheimer's disease before patients develop dementia.
If successful, this would principally have clinical benefits both in terms of treatment as well as risk modification.
Moreover, a better method for diagnosing predementia disease would assist research which seeks to develop such treatments and risk modification strategies.
The evidence-based definition of a diagnostic test's accuracy is fundamental to achieve the above goals and to address this, the Cochrane Collaboration has established a Diagnostic Test Accuracy group dedicated to examining the utility and accuracy of proposed tests in dementia and cognitive impairment.
We present here the assumptions and observations underpinning the chosen methodology as well as the initial methodological approach decided upon.
