Amnestic MCI patients’ experiences after disclosure of their amyloid PET result in a research context

Abstract: BackgroundBiomarkers such as amyloid imaging are increasingly used for diagnosis in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Very few studies have examined this from the perspective of the patient. To date, there is only limited evidence about how patients experience and value disclosure in an early disease stage.MethodsSemistructured interviews were carried out with 38 patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment as part of an investigator-driven diagnostic trial (EudraCT, 2013-004671-12; registered on 20… Show more

“…[21][22][23][24] Further, they are consistent with studies concluding that it is safe to disclose amyloid imaging results to adults with MCI and dementia. [25,26] Post-disclosure, participants who received an "elevated" result reported contemplating and making changes to health behaviors and future plans to a greater extent than participants who received a "not-elevated" results. Participants with elevated brain amyloid did not uniformly ascribe these changes to their amyloid PET scan result.…”
