MRI free water as a biomarker for cognitive performance: Validation in the MarkVCID consortium

Introduction To evaluate the clinical validity of free water (FW), a diffusion tensor imaging–based biomarker kit proposed by the MarkVCID consortium, by investigating the association between mean FW (mFW) and executive function.

Zusammenfassung:Introduction To evaluate the clinical validity of free water (FW), a diffusion tensor imaging–based biomarker kit proposed by the MarkVCID consortium, by investigating the association between mean FW (mFW) and executive function. Methods Baseline mFW was related to a baseline composite measure of executive function (EFC), adjusting for relevant covariates, in three MarkVCID sub‐cohorts, and replicated in five, large, independent legacy cohorts. In addition, we tested whether baseline mFW predicted accelerated EFC score decline (mean follow‐up time: 1.29 years). Results Higher mFW was found to be associated with lower EFC scores in MarkVCID legacy and sub‐cohorts (p‐values
