Hi ADNI users,
can anyone explain what it the difference between early-MCI subjects and late-MCI subjects? I can't find a document that explains this grouping. Is there any difference in any of the cognitive tests/abilities, subjective memory complaints etc.?
Also, there used to be a grouping based on conversion to AD over time (MCI-converters vs MCI-non-converters). Is there anything like this available for the DTI data?

Thanks!

Tanya

You will find the definition of EMCI and LMCI on pages 27-28 of the ADNI-2 Procedures Manual (http://adni.loni.usc.edu/methods/documents/) – this table gives the inclusion criteria for the different groups.

 

You can link the DTI data (by RID) to the Diagnostic Summary file (DXSUM_PDXCONV_ADNIALL.csv) to get information on changes in diagnosis.

Hi Danielle,

I am having some trouble in identifying the MCI-C and MCI-NC subjects in the  DXSUM_PDXCONV_ADNIALL.csv  file in which column of the file should I be watching? 

Thank you,
Rochelle

Hi Rochelle,


During ADNI-1, all diagnosis information was contained in a set of variables (see DATADIC.csv, the data dictionary for coding of these variables):


DXCURREN captured current diagnosis

DXCONV captured whether a conversion or reversion in diagnosis occurred

DXCONTYP captured the type of conversion

DXREV captured the type of reversion


So, you would generally use DXCONV and DXCONTYP to identify those that converted from MCI to dementia.


In ADNI-GO/ADNI-2, all diagnosis information (including reversions and conversions) is captured in DXCHANGE (again, refer to the DATADIC.csv file for coding information).

The central ADNI Administrative website contains the full list of updated study documents as required for the operations of the organization.

Hi All,


I am trying to analyse data in ADNI2 phase, and I tried to find the MRI data, in particular in DTIROI_04_30_14 file, but just about 200 patients up to 530 patients have the MRI data. Is it possible or Do you think I made something wrong when I merged the tables (by RID)?

Thank you in advance


Fabrizia
