Total prospective follow up time was defined using the neuropsychological testing session within one year of the Tau PET as the “baseline” visit and comparing that date to the date of the final subsequent neuropsychological testing session. Likewise, the tabulated MMSE and Logical Memory values reflect scores from the neuropsychological testing session within one year of the date of the tau scan.
