Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease: Diagnosis and Disease Last A dictionary of Epidemiology IEA 1988 • The process of determining health status and define the identity of the condition from which a patient suffer. • Identified by a phenotype or a test or a battery of test or on an opinion based on pattern ricognition.

Increasing the Grey Area/ Uncertainties of the Case/Control approach
Dementia Diagnosis Determinants • The reference system is key (in vivo / postmortem) • The diagnosis is culturally/socially influenced • The real use of the diagnostic system may rapidly change over time • Measures of Brain Functioning have a wider distribution around the point estimate in older age groups
Clinical diagnosis of Probable AD NICDS-ADRDA Criteria
Diagnostic Criteria (Operational Criteria) • Provide clear and reproducibile applications of definition ( based on clinical/test characteristics) • Provide homogeneous groups of cases • Possible identification of subgroups • Starting point to predict prognosis and choose a therapy

• “A biomarker that is intended to substitute for a clinical endpoint. • It is expected to predict clinical benefit (or lack of benefit) based on epidemiologic, therapeutic, pathophysiologic or other scientific evidence.” Definition of Clinical Endpoint Biomarker
AD Biomarker: A combined Multimodal Approach • Diagnostic biomarkers – Used to enrich,select stratify subject with AD • Endpoint biomarkers – To monitor disease progression and therapy effect • Pathophysiology biomarkers – To identify pathophysiology at preclinical stage Cavedo et al
Disease Modifying Treatment • Able to slow or halt the disease progression • Permanent effect should be present – (no transient effect like in symptomatique treatments) • Modify the underlying pathological process
Primary Outcome Measures of the Study • How Many subjects with AD at MCI stage progressed to AD Dementia based on DSM-IV criteria and/or NINDS- NIA-McKahn 1984 criteria?

Conversion Patterns from MCI to Dementia between the clinic- and community-based samples
Conclusions: • A substantial proportion of CIND develop dementia in a three years period • There is a sobstantial proportion of CIND who improve • The absence of subjective memory complaint is the only reliable predictor of improvement • Setting is important to determine the clinical features including prognosis
