BackgroundThe utility of MRI atrophy measures for predicting progression of amnestic MCI (aMCI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD) is limited, as evidenced by proven prognostic likelihood ratios (LR; positive LR= 2, 9; negative LR= 0, 49-0, 56)(Frisoni et al., Neurology 2013) that are outside the ranges usually required for clinical implementation (LR+≥ 5, 0 and LR-≤ 0, 2). We tested the hypothesis that stratification of patients by global cognitive function could improve the prognostic value of MRI.Methods4502We selected 147 aMCI subjects from the ADNI-1 database with MMSE=[28-30] at baseline and 195 with MMSE=[24-27] for which we had complete MRI volumetric results (FreeSurfer) and general primary-level information. We created a prognostic model for progression to AD within 36 months based on these measures.ResultsThe model that included left hippocampal volume and left mid-temporal cortical thickness, when adjusted for intracranial volume, age and sex, had a 87, 4% area under ROC curve (AUC), 80.3% classification accuracy, 53, 8% sensitivity, 88, 2% specificity, LR+= 4, 81 and LR-= 0.49 (with classification cut-point of disease probability= 0.4). After excluding statistical outliers (three subjects; impact chi-square (dl 6)= 12.59), the same model had AUC of 91, 1%, 81.9% classification accuracy, 71.4% sensitivity, 85.3% specificity, LR+= 4.9 and LR-= 0.3 (with classification cut-point of 0.3). Applying the same model to the ADNI aMCI subjects with baseline MMSE in the [24-27] range gave a AUC of 64.5%. In fact, simply adding a dichotomous variable in the MRI model for cognitive status (ie baseline MMSE in range [24-27] or [28-30]) gives a AUC of 73.3% for all aMCI in the ADNI-1 population.ConclusionsA clinically relevant prognostic significance for left hippocampal volume and left mid-temporal cortical thickness, when adjusted for intracranial volume, age and sex, has been observed in ADNI-1 aMCI subjects with baseline MMSE in the [28-30] range. The prognostic LR+ and LR-observed in these strata is higher than previously described for a more general population and reaches clinical applicability.
