The goal of the study was to examine the prevalence and severity of AD pathology in older adults without dementia who fall and sustain hip fracture. METHODS: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was obtained from 168 hip fracture patients. CSF Aβ42/40 ratio, p-tau, and t-tau measures were dichotomized into normal vs. abnormal, and categorized according to the A/T/N classification. RESULTS: Among the hip fracture patients, 88.6% of the cognitively normal (Clinical Dementia Rating-CDR 0; n = 70) and 98.8% with mild cognitive impairment (CDR 0.5; n = 81) fell in the abnormal biomarker categories by the A/T/N classification. CONCLUSIONS: A large proportion of older hip fracture patients have CSF evidence of AD pathology. Preoperative determination of AD biomarkers may play a crucial role in identifying persons without dementia who have underlying AD pathology in perioperative settings. date: 2018-09-25 date_type: published publisher: PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE official_url: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0204695 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1589490 doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0204695 lyricists_name: Zetterberg, Henrik lyricists_id: HZETT94 actors_name: Bracey, Alan actors_id: ABBRA90 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: PLoS One volume: 13 number: 9 article_number: e0204695 pages: 10 issn: 1932-6203 citation: Oh, ES; Blennow, K; Bigelow, GE; Inouye, SK; Marcantonio, ER; Neufeld, KJ; Rosenberg, PB; ...
