The temporal event-based model: Learning event timelines in progressive diseases

Timelines of events, such as symptom appearance or a change in biomarker value, provide powerful signatures that characterise progressive diseases. Understanding and predicting the timing of events is important for clinical trials targeting …

Four distinct trajectories of tau deposition identified in Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the spread of tau pathology throughout the cerebral cortex. This spreading pattern was thought to be fairly consistent across individuals, although recent work has demonstrated substantial variability in …

Identifying multiple sclerosis subtypes using unsupervised machine learning and MRI data

Multiple sclerosis (MS) can be divided into four phenotypes based on clinical evolution. The pathophysiological boundaries of these phenotypes are unclear, limiting treatment stratification. Machine learning can identify groups with similar features …

Sequence of clinical and neurodegeneration events in Parkinson's disease progression

Inter-Cohort Validation of SuStaIn Model for Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder which spans several years from preclinical manifestations to dementia. In recent years, interest in the application of machine learning (ML) algorithms to personalized medicine has grown …

Ordinal SuStaIn: Subtype and Stage Inference for Clinical Scores, Visual Ratings, and Other Ordinal Data

pySuStaIn: A Python implementation of the Subtype and Stage Inference algorithm

Progressive disorders are highly heterogeneous. Symptom-based clinical classification of these disorders may not reflect the underlying pathobiology. Data-driven subtyping and staging of patients has the potential to disentangle the complex …

The Alzheimer's Disease Prediction Of Longitudinal Evolution (TADPOLE) Challenge: Results after 1 Year Follow-up

Analyzing large Alzheimer's disease cognitive datasets: Considerations and challenges

Abstract Recent data-sharing initiatives of clinical and preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) have led to a growing number of non-clinical researchers analyzing these datasets using modern data-driven computational methods. Cognitive tests are key …

Quantitative detection and staging of presymptomatic cognitive decline in familial Alzheimer's disease: a retrospective cohort analysis
