BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) confers a high annual risk of 10-15 % of conversion to Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia. MRI atrophy patterns derived from automated ROI analysis, particularly hippocampal subfield volumes, were reported to be useful in diagnosing early clinical stages of Alzheimer's disease.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to combine automated ROI MRI morphometry of hippocampal subfield volumes and cortical thickness estimates using FreeSurfer 6.0 with cognitive measures to predict disease progression and time to conversion from MCI to AD dementia.
METHODS: Baseline (Neuropsychology, MRI) and clinical follow-up data from 62 MCI patients were analysed retrospectively. Individual cortical thickness and volumetric measures were obtained from T1-weighted MRI. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) of both, cognitive measures and MRI measures (hippocampal subfields, temporal and parietal lobe volumes), were performed to differentiate MCI converters from stable MCI patients.
RESULTS: Out of 62 MCI patients 21 (34 %) converted to AD dementia within a mean follow-up time of 74.7 ± 36.8 months (mean ± SD, range 12 to 130 months). LDA identified temporal lobe atrophy and hippocampal subfield volumes in combination with cognitive measures of verbal memory, verbal fluency and executive functions to correctly classify 71.4.% of MCI subjects converting to AD dementia and 92.7 % with stable MCI. Lower baseline GM volume of the subiculum and the superior temporal gyrus was associated with faster disease progression of MCI converters.
CONCLUSION: Combining cognitive assessment with automated ROI MRI morphometry is superior to using a single test in order to distinguish MCI due to AD from non converting MCI patients.
