Résumé

We aimed to assess diagnostic accuracy of plasma p-tau181 and NfL separately and in combination in discriminating Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients carrying Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathology from non-carriers; to propose a flowchart for the interpretation of the results of plasma p-tau181 and NfL. We included 43 SCD, 41 MCI and 21 AD-demented (AD-d) patients, who underwent plasma p-tau181 and NfL analysis. Twenty-eight SCD, 41 MCI and 21 AD-d patients underwent CSF biomarkers analysis (Aβ1-42, Aβ1-42/1-40, p-tau, t-tau) and were classified as carriers of AD pathology (AP+) it they were A+/T+ , or non-carriers (AP-) when they were A-, A+/T-/N-, or A+/T-/N+ according to the A/T(N) system. Plasma p-tau181 and NfL separately showed a good accuracy (AUC = 0.88), while the combined model (NfL + p-tau181) showed an excellent accuracy (AUC = 0.92) in discriminating AP+ from AP- patients. Plasma p-tau181 and NfL results were moderately concordant (Coehn's k = 0.50, p < 0.001). Based on a logistic regression model, we estimated the risk of AD pathology considering the two biomarkers: 10.91% if both p-tau181 and NfL were negative; 41.10 and 76.49% if only one biomarker was positive (respectively p-tau18 and NfL); 94.88% if both p-tau181 and NfL were positive. Considering the moderate concordance and the risk of presenting an underlying AD pathology according to the positivity of plasma p-tau181 and NfL, we proposed a flow chart to guide the combined use of plasma p-tau181 and NfL and the interpretation of biomarker results to detect AD pathology.
