CSF sTREM2 within clinical presentation groups and AT categories. (A) Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sTREM2 levels did not relate to the AD clinical presentation. There was no difference in the CSF sTREM2 levels when comparing the cognitively unimpaired with patients having a clinical presentation of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (p = 0.31, Kruskal–Wallis test, n = 113, n = 62, n = 237, respectively). (B) CSF sTREM2 related to AT status. When all individuals included were stratified according to the AT classification CSF sTREM2 was higher among those with biomarker data suggestive of tau pathology (T) *p < 0.001 obtained by Mann–Whitney-test. (C) The stratification according to the AT system within the clinical groups also showed higher CSF sTREM2 among those with biomarker data suggestive of tau pathology (AD-MCI **p = 0.02, AD dementia * and cognitively unimpaired *p < 0.001, p values obtained by Kruskal–Wallis test). Data are presented with individual values with smaller and larger lines representing the mean and standard deviation, respectively.
