Association of the ATN Research Framework With Clinical Profile, Cognitive Decline, and Mortality in Patients With Dementia With Lewy Bodies.

In our DLB cohort, we found clinically relevant associations between ATN categories and disease manifestation. Patients within the AD continuum had steeper cognitive decline and shorter survival. Implementing the ATN framework within patients with DLB aids in subtyping patients based on underlying biological processes and could provide targets for future treatment strategies (for example, AD-modifying treatment). Expanding the framework by incorporating markers for α-synucleinopathy would improve the use of the framework to characterize patients with dementia with mixed pathology, which could enhance proper stratification of patients for therapeutic trials.
