Alzheimer’s and Dementia
The Imaging Dementia — Evidence for Amyloid Scanning (IDEAS) Study will assess the impact of amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) imaging on outcomes in patients with mild cognitive impairment or dementia of uncertain origin. Researchers seek to demonstrate that amyloid PET can help clinicians diagnose the cause of cognitive impairment, provide the most appropriate treatments and recommendations, and improve health outcomes.

Delirium, Dementia,and the Vulnerable Brain: An integrated Approach (Project 4: Defining Phenotype of Complicated Delirium) Project 4 will identify and validate predictors of complicated delirium, i.e., delirium associated with long-term cognitive decline. All of these studies will utilize both the original SAGES I cohort, and a new prospectively enrolled cohort, SAGES II (N=400), which will include CSF sampling obtained prior to spinal anesthesia.
