Primary Endpoint
The amyloids load in brain among mild traumatic brain injury and controls in a temporal manner.

Study Overview

Brief Summary

There will be 200 participants, who aged 30 years or older with TBI in 1,5,10,15 years ago and GCS=13-15 will be recruited. Another group of 200 participants with the same age and gender and without TBI will be recruited as the controls. All of them will undergo AD8 questionnaire for dementia screening and APOE4 genotyping. Further CASI and CDR will be tested for the confirmation of dementia diagnosis for the individuals with AD8 scaore >/=2. 10 TBI with dementia, 20 TBI without dementia and 10 controls will be selected randomly for AV45 amylid PET study.

There will also be 10 participants without traumatic brain injury and interested in this study, aged 55 years or older better.

Detailed Description

We will examine the mTBI patients in a long-term follow-up manner by cognitive tests and A-PET. This is a novel study for linking mTBI and AD by solid, reliable methods, in terms of A-PET and cognitive function tests. In addition, we will figure out the importance of APOE genotypes for amyloid accumulation and cognitive impairment. These results should shed light on the further clinical studies and amyloid-cleaning therapy for prevention and treatment for dementia after mTBI.

Arms & Interventions

Alzheimer disease after mild traumatic brain injury

Experimental

Based on the TBI registry databank, to recruit patients 1, 5, 10, 15 years after mTBI for cognitive evaluatio

Intervention: [18F]AV-45 PET amyloid binding imaging (Drug)

mild traumatic brain injury without Alzheimer disease

Experimental

To recruit patients 1, 5, 10, 15 years after mTBI with or without cognitive impairment and age-gender-matched controls (a total of 3 groups) for amyloid- positron emission tomography (A-PET)

Intervention: [18F]AV-45 PET amyloid binding imaging (Drug)

Normal control

Experimental

People aged 30 or older without mTBI or AD

Intervention: [18F]AV-45 PET amyloid binding imaging (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The amyloids load in brain among mild traumatic brain injury and controls in a temporal manner.

Time Frame: one year

The amyloids load (based on F-18-AV-45 binding) in brain among mild traumatic brain injury and controls in a temporal manner.

Secondary Outcomes

  • F-18-AV-45 binding changes and cognitive function among mild traumatic brain injury and controls(one year)
