Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Progressive brain atrophy has now been widely observed in the chronic stages of moderate–severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI), but there is only coarse information regarding its prevalence and magnitude, and whether rate of atrophy accelerates or attenuates across time. We examined these questions in a Canadian inception cohort from

A Two‐Stage Plasma Biomarker Algorithm Reduces Amyloid PET Use and the p‐Tau217 Gray Zone
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Plasma p‐Tau217 leaves 30%–50% of patients in an indeterminate “gray zone” often requiring Aβ‐PET. We developed GRAD (Gatekeeper‐Reflex for Alzheimer's Disease), a two‐stage Aβ‐positivity prediction model to improve classification while reserving Aβ‐PET for residual uncertainty.
