- Abstract
- Background
The tendency of amyloid-β to form oligomers in the blood as measured with Multimer Detection System-Oligomeric Amyloid-β (MDS-OAβ) is a valuable biomarker for Alzheimers disease and has been verified with heparin-based plasma. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-based MDS-OAβ and to develop machine learning algorithms to predict amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) positivity.
Methods
The performance of EDTA-based MDS-OAβ in predicting PET positivity was evaluated in 312 individuals with various machine learning models. The models with various combinations of features (i.e., MDS-OAβ level, age, apolipoprotein E4 alleles, and Mini-Mental Status Examination [MMSE] score) were tested 50 times on each dataset.
Results
The random forest model best-predicted amyloid PET positivity based on MDS-OAβ combined with other features with an accuracy of 77.14 ± 4.21% and an F1 of 85.44 ± 3.10%. The order of significance of predictive features was MDS-OAβ, MMSE, Age, and APOE. The Support Vector Machine using the MDS-OAβ value only showed an accuracy of 71.09 ± 3.27% and F−1 value of 80.18 ± 2.70%.
Conclusions
The Random Forest model using EDTA-based MDS-OAβ combined with the MMSE and apolipoprotein E status can be used to prescreen for amyloid PET positivity.
