BackgroundMultimodal prediction models for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are emerging as promising tools for improving detection and informing prognosis.ObjectiveTo summarize the predictive objectives, constituting predictors and algorithms, and performance of existing multimodal prediction models.MethodsWe performed a systematic literature search in Medline, Embase, and Web of Science up to January 15, 2024, to identify prediction models covering the full spectrum of AD, from the preclinical stage to subjective cognitive decline (SCD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and AD dementia.
