NIA diagnostic neuropathological criteriaNIA dijagnostički neuropatološki kriteriji(Khachaturian ZS, Arch Neurol, 1985) • First, it was thought that only SPs matter: criteria were based on quantification of minimal SPs cortical densities • However, these first NIA criteria were not accepted because: 1. Clinical history and NFTs were not considered 2. SPs were shown to be partly a benign age-related phenomenon Campbell-Switzer-Martin stain

NIA-RI neuropathological criteria for ADNIA-RI neuropatološki kriteriji za AD(Reagan Institute, 1997) • Reconciliate the amyloid cascade hypothesis with the major role of NFTs in clinico-pathological correlations • Include semiquantitative assessment of AD lesions in hippocampus, susbstantia nigra and locus coeruleus • Integrate CERAD and Braak staging evaluating “likelihood” AD changes led to dementia(Braak and Braak, Acta Neuropathol 1991; Neurobiol Aging. 1997;18(4 suppl):S1-2.) • High - CERAD frequent/Braak V or VI • Intermediate - CERAD moderate/Braak III or IV • Low - CERAD sparse/Braak I or II • Major weakness: • Since there is a considerable number of demented patients with AD who have low numbers of neocx NFTs NIA-RI criteria are more specific than CERAD, but LESS SENSITIVE

Major pitfall • The major pitfall when studying CSF biomarkers to predict AD in MCI cohorts is the fact that conversion from MCI to AD is only about 12-15% per year (in contrast, only 1-2% of healthy older population convert to AD per year), whereas the rest of MCI patients have a less progressive form of memory impairment (DeCarli, Lancet Neurol ’03; Petersen, J Int Med ’04) • Therefore, only an extensive follow-up time (>5years) of patients with stable MCI might further increase the specificity of CSF biomarkers!
