Plasma P-tau181 may be a useful tool in the diagnosis of AD in those clinical settings where biomarkers have traditionally been less used. P-tau181 may be less useful as an aid to diagnosis in the very oldest-old. Further work is needed to establish the feasibility and utility of this biomarker within dementia diagnosis services not led by Neurologists, such as UK National Health Service Memory Services.
