Identification of clusters of rapid and slow decliners among subjects at risk for Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract The heterogeneity of Alzheimer’s disease contributes to the high failure rate of prior clinical trials. We analyzed 5-year longitudinal outcomes and biomarker data from 562 subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from two national studies (ADNI) using a novel multilayer clustering alg...
