New Framework Accurately Predicts Alzheimer's Progression to Help Patients Plan Care
-
Researchers created a framework to predict Alzheimer’s disease progression and timing of later stages.
-
The framework codes stages into a "disease-embedding tree" (DETree) to predict clinical groups.
-
DETree was more accurate than other models in predicting 266 Alzheimer's patients' disease progression.
-
DETree could help patients and families better plan for future care needs as disease advances.
-
The framework may also predict progression of Parkinson's, Huntington's, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob diseases.
