Abstract
Introduction: We aimed to examine the contribution of subjective cognitive decline (SCD) to reduce the number of β-amyloid (Aβ) positron emission tomography scans required for recruiting Aβ+ clinically normal individuals in clinical trials. Methods: Three independent cohorts (890 clinically normal: 72 yrs ± 6.7; Female: 43.4%; SCD+: 24%; apolipoprotein E [APOE] ε4+: 28.5%; Aβ+: 32%) were used. SCD was dichotomized from one question. Using logistic regression, we classified Aβ+ using the SCD dichotomy, APOEε4, sex, and age. Results: SCD increased odds of Aβ+ by 1.58 relative to non-SCD. Female APOEε4 carriers with SCD exhibited higher odds of Aβ+ (OR = 3.34), whereas male carriers with SCD showed a weaker, opposing effect (OR = 0.37). SCD endorsement reduces the number of Aβ positron emission tomography scans to recruit Aβ+ individuals by 13% and by 9% if APOEε4 status is known. Conclusion: SCD helps to classify those with high Aβ, even beyond the substantial effect of APOE genotype. Collecting SCD is a feasible method for targeting recruitment for those likely on the AD trajectory.

Funding
Some data used in the preparation of this article were obtained from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database ( adni.loni.usc.edu ). The ADNI was launched in 2003 as a public-private partnership, led by Principal Investigator Michael W. Weiner, MD. The primary goal of ADNI has been to test whether serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), other biological markers, and clinical and neuropsychological assessment can be combined to measure the progression of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer's disease (AD). For up-to-date information, see www.adni-info.org . R.F.B. is funded with the NHMRC Dementia Research Fellowship (APP1105576). J.S.R. is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Postdoctoral Fellowship. This work was supported with funding from the National Institutes of Health , including P01 AG036694 (Sperling and Johnson), P50 AG005134 (Sperling, Johnson, Hedden), K23 EB019023 (Sepulcre), K23 AG049087 (Chhatwal), K24 AG035007 (Sperling), and K01 040197 (Hedden). This research was carried out in part at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at the Massachusetts General Hospital , using resources provided by the Center for Functional Neuroimaging Technologies, P41EB015896, a P41 Biotechnology Resource Grant supported by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) and National Institutes of Health . This work also involved the use of instrumentation supported by the NIH Shared Instrumentation Grant Program and/or High-End Instrumentation Grant Program; specifically, grant numbers S10RR021110, S10RR023401, and S10RR023043. For ADNI , data collection and sharing for this project was funded by the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative ( ADNI ) ( National Institutes of Health Grant U01 AG024904), and DOD ADNI ( Department of Defense award number W81XWH-12-2-0012).
