This was a multicenter study, with data collected from referral centers in clinical routine (UGOT) and research settings (ADNI and WISC). Eligible individuals had 1 lumbar puncture (all cohorts), 2 or more cognitive assessments (ADNI and WISC), and imaging (ADNI only) performed on 2 separate occasions. Data were analyzed on August 2022 to April 2023.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec id="ab-noi230049-7"><jats:title>Exposures</jats:title><jats:p>Baseline CSF Aβ42/40 and phosphorylated tau (p-tau)181; cognitive tests (ADNI: modified preclinical Alzheimer cognitive composite [mPACC]; WISC: modified 3-test PACC [PACC-3]). Exposures in the ADNI cohort included [<jats:sup>18</jats:sup>F]-florbetapir amyloid positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), [<jats:sup>18</jats:sup>F]-fluorodeoxyglucose PET (FDG-PET), and cross-sectional tau-PET (ADNI: [<jats:sup>18</jats:sup>F]-flortaucipir, WISC: [<jats:sup>18</jats:sup>F]-MK6240).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec id="ab-noi230049-8"><jats:title>Main Outcomes and Measures</jats:title><jats:p>Primary outcomes were the prevalence of CSF AT biomarker profiles and continuous longitudinal global cognitive outcome and imaging biomarker trajectories in A−T+ vs A−T− groups.

The prevalence of an A−T+ profile in the UGOT cohort was 4.1% (95% CI, 3.7%-4.6%), being less common than the other patterns. Longitudinally, no significant differences in rates of worsening were observed between A−T+ and A−T− profiles for cognition or imaging biomarkers. Cross-sectionally, A−T+ had similar tau-PET uptake to individuals with an A−T− biomarker profile.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec id="ab-noi230049-10"><jats:title>Conclusion and Relevance</jats:title><jats:p>Results suggest that the CSF A−T+ biomarker profile was found in approximately 5% of lumbar punctures and was not associated with a higher rate of cognitive decline or biomarker signs of disease progression compared with biomarker-negative individuals.</jats:p></jats:sec>
