Sensitivity (Sens.), specificity (Spec.), positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) in % for clinical diagnostic criteria when applied to our autopsy cases with 4R-tauopathy (PSP, N=195; CBD, N=55), and non-4R-tauopathy (MSA, N=50; PD, N=51; 4R-tau negative FTLD, N=60) within 1. - 3. year of disease and at final record.
