Description
Poosanu Thanapornsangsuth and nine co-authors published a study in 2025 on bringing a strong blood test into real memory clinics in Thailand. The test measures a form of tau protein and spots Alzheimer's disease well in research settings. Near the cutoff value, though, a plain yes-or-no reading can mislead.
The team proposed a method that starts from a doctor's judgment before testing, then updates the odds with each patient's exact result. They checked the method in patients at two Bangkok hospitals whose status was confirmed by fluid tests or scans. Splitting patients into training and test groups kept the check honest. The approach aims for careful, case-by-case readings in daily practice.
