In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Cognitive disorders have a broad differential diagnosis, and a precise, timely diagnosis is essential for personalized treatment and care. Currently, dementia diagnoses are often not further specified according to the underlying pathology and are frequently delayed by several years. However, with the upcoming disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) for AD, an accurate, pathology-driven (i.e., etiological) diagnosis will become necessary. Blood-based biomarkers (BBMs) are promising tools for detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD), with current research showing high concordance with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers and amyloid PET imaging. However, it remains unclear how physicians would value the availability of BBMs for AD in routine clinical practice. The investigators hypothesize that BBMs will benefit both patients and physicians in the diagnostic process within a memory clinic setting.
