The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease published on November 7, 2013 a story about the research results of a team who developed a way to predict the time line for an Alzheimer’s patient. New Method Predicts Time from Alzheimer’s Onset to Nursing Home, Death details their work. According to the story, “[t]he method, which uses data gathered from a single patient visit, is based on a complex model of Alzheimer’s disease progression that the researchers developed by consecutively following two sets of Alzheimer’s patients for 10 years each.” The article discusses how the team developed their research findings.  The article, A New Algorithm for Predicting Time to Disease Endpoints in Alzheimer’s Disease Patients can be ordered here.
