Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Not applicable to patient enrollment; the core supports analysis of data from participants in ADNI studies.
✕Less likely to help
Direct patient enrollment is not a feature of this core; benefits come from improved research quality.
What this research studies
This core helps plan who is included in long-term follow-up studies, supports complex analyses of biomarker and cognitive data, and develops new statistical methods to understand aging and disease progression. It collaborates with other ADNI4 teams to ensure analyses are appropriate across studies and platforms. The work emphasizes transparent methods, data sharing, and improving how clinical trials in AD begin and are interpreted.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this core could improve how Alzheimer's disease studies are designed and analyzed, leading to clearer insights and faster development of therapies.
How similar studies have gone: ADNI has a long history of successful statistical methods and data harmonization across cohorts.
