  Sensitivity and specificity of memory complaints, global cognitive impairment with no dementia, and impairment on domain specific cognitive tests for predicting Alzheimer's disease and dementia^* at three year follow up with three step screening

	Step 1: Tests in the general population			Step 2: Testing only people with memory complaints			Step 3: Testing only people with both memory complaints and cognitive impairment
	Sensitivity (95% CI)	Specificity (95% CI)		Sensitivity (95% CI)	Specificity (95% CI)		Sensitivity (95% CI)	Specificity (95% CI)
Memory complaint	0.51 (0.44 to 0.58)	0.70 (0.67 to 0.73)		—	—		—	—
Global cognitive impairment with no dementia	0.31 (0.25 to 0.38)	0.89 (0.87 to 0.91)		0.33 (0.24 to 0.42)	0.87 (0.83 to 0.91)		—	—
Domain specific cognitive impairment:
Episodic/recall impairment	0.21 (0.11 to 0.32)	0.94 (0.91 to 0.97)		0.25 (0.10 to 0.40)	0.89 (0.82 to 0.96)		0.50 (0.29 to 0.71)	0.89 (0.75 to 1)
