Number of cases studied, sex (number of female and male cases), age at onset (mean age with SD), and plasma Nfl and t-tau (mean concentrations with SD and 95% CI) are indicated. Information on disease duration (onset to death, mean days, SD) is only available for the CJD group. HC, healthy controls; NND, neurological diseases without dementia; NND-Dem, neurological diseases with dementia; AD, Alzheimer’s disease; CJD, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; MM/MV/VV, PRNP codon 129 methionine/valine polymorphism; DLB/PDD, dementia with Lewy bodies/Parkinson’s disease dementia; FTD, fronto-temporal dementia; VaD, vascular dementia; Nfl, neurofilament light; t-tau, total-tau. *Information on disease duration was available from 82 of 83 CJD cases
