Average characteristics by biomarker group Abbreviations: A±: amyloid positive or negative; HA±: hippocampal degeneration positive or negative. See text for definitions of cutoffs. CDR: CDR sum of boxes scores, at baseline and follow up times. Similarly for MMSE. PiB –Baseline: average time interval between PiB imaging and baseline scan (positive means PiB acquisition was later).
