Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Aged 50-90 years - Participant had amyloid PET scan preferably within 1 year of inclusion in this study - Mini mental state exam >17 (i.e. patients are mentally competent)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: * Pupil dilation inadequate or contraindicated. * Presence of glaucoma, retinal vascular occlusion or retinopathy (diabetic, hypertensive). * Presence of moderate / late stage age-related macular degeneration. * Media opacities (cataract) precluding a good quality imaging * Refractive error outside the range -6 D to +6 D. * Inability to obtain good quality images with the MHRC. * Ocular conditions that could influence tear biochemical parameters (including eye infection, eye inflammation, eye surgery within the last 28 days or other acute eye conditions).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The diagnostic performance of MHRC by determining the sensitivity and specificity using amyloid status, measured with amyloid PET as reference. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Correlation of MHRC results to syndrome diagnosis (subjective cognitive complaints, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia) and established AD biomarkers in CSF on brain MRI as well as cognitive performance in predicting the amyloid status, measured with amyloid PET as reference. 2. Correlation of MHRC results to multimodal imaging of the retina, i.e. OCT(-A) and widefield fundus photography in predicting the amyloid status, measured with amyloid PET as reference. 3. Correlation of MHRC results to possible AD biomarkers as measured in tears in predicting the amyloid status, measured with amyloid PET as reference. | — |
