1.
Based on the results from the assessments in our case study, what do you think this clinical picture suggests?
MCI of unknown aetiology
MCI due to major depressive disorder
MCI due to AD
Mild AD dementia
Moderate AD dementia
2.
Do you believe it is important to give a definitive aetiological diagnosis of AD using biomarkers?
Yes
No
Maybe
3.
Why would you conduct Aβ confirmation specifically in an individual with MCI?
Increased certainty of diagnosis
Increased possibility to provide counselling / risk reduction strategies
Facilitate follow-up planning (i.e. regular follow up)
Patient desire
Other (i.e. clinical study)
4.
Why would you not conduct Aβ confirmation in an individual with MCI?
Lack of standardised measurements and cut-off values
Lack of treatment possibility/availability
Data represent only group-level rather than individual-level basis
Psychological impact on individual/carer
Other (e.g. lack of guidelines, facilities, expertise)
