Table 4 Comparison of CAA, Thal phase and plaque score importance in classifiers that also use age, brain weight and Braak stage. Adding any one of the three Aβ-related parameters gave a similar prediction performance compared to the best performing multivariable model. Accuracy and confidence intervals are listed for dementia prediction when each neuropathology feature is omitted
