Medial temporal lobe atrophy predicts Alzheimer's disease in patients with minor cognitive impairment

Table 3

Logistic regression analyses of clinical outcome

Change in deviance* p Value change deviance Overall accuracy (%)† Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%) PPV (%) NPV (%)
*Change in deviance is the change in deviance from maximum deviance (step 1) or the previous step (steps 2 and 3); †the overall accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were calculated on the basis of the predicted probability of outcome: Alzheimer type dementia or cognitive decline were considered to be predicted by the model if the predicted probability of Alzheimer type dementia or cognitive decline was ≥0.5.
HC, hippocampus; PHG, parahippocampal gyrus; MTA, medial temporal lobe atrophy; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; –,could not be calculated because no patients were predicted to have Alzheimer type dementia at follow up.
