ARIA-E was mostly mild or moderate in severity. Serious ARIA-E was reported in 1.5% and symptomatic ARIA-E in 5.8% of donanemab-treated participants in the placebo-controlled trials.

Participants were individuals with a dementia diagnosis who had a complete set of cerebrospinal fluid Aβ1-42, t-tau, and p-tau measurements registered less than 3 years after the date of diagnosis. Data were analyzed from April to November 2023.ExposuresAge, sex, and dementia diagnosis.Main Outcomes and MeasuresBiomarker profiles in relation to diagnosis and cognitive status as indicated by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores.ResultsAmong 15 004 individuals with a dementia diagnosis in the SveDem database, 13 882 were included in this study (7328 females [53%], 6554 males [47%]; median [IQR] age, 74 [68-79] years). Apart from the AD groups (early-onset AD, 1150 [68%]; late-onset AD, 3392 [65%]; mixed AD and vascular dementia, 1038 [52%]), the dementia not otherwise specified group had the most patients (443 [25%]) with a clear AD-like biomarker profile, while Parkinson disease dementia and the frontotemporal dementia groups had the smallest shares (15 [9%] and 51 [8%], respectively). MMSE score was associated with cerebrospinal fluid Aβ1-42 in late-onset AD, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and dementia not otherwise specified; with t-tau in late-onset AD, early-onset AD, and dementia not otherwise specified; and with p-tau181 in early-onset AD.Conclusions and RelevanceAβ-related pathology is a defining feature of AD, and most patients clinically diagnosed with AD have biomarker evidence of this process, but the same is found in other dementias, although less commonly. Cerebrospinal fluid biomarker concentrations of AD-like pathology were associated with cognitive function but mainly in patients with an AD-related diagnosis (early- and late-onset AD).","PeriodicalId":14677,"journal":{"name":"JAMA neurology","volume":"55 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143884696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
