A dementia diagnosis is usually made from speaking with patients and families,memory testing,and
brain scans. While these methods are effective in identifying whether someone has dementia,they are
not reliable when it comes to the cause of the condition or how it may progress in future.
Blood tests are a promising way to improve the diagnosis of dementia. But the research so far had
participants who do not reflect real-world patient populations (for example in terms of their ethnicity or
having other common illnesses).
Here,we aim to assess the usefulness of blood-based tests for dementia. The READ-OUT Observational
Study investigates blood tests in people seen in memory clinics across the United Kingdom,for a wide
variety of dementias and other memory problems. It will focus a lot of its recruitment from people from
backgrounds that are not often involved in research: very elderly,ethnic minorities,those in deprived
areas or with multiple illnesses,etc. We will also assess whether these tests are good value for money for
the NHS. The project will show if blood biomarkers are useful for people attending NHS memory clinics.
