A prognostic model for overall survival in sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease

Introduction We developed a prognostic model for overall survival after diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (sCJD) using data from a German surveillance study. Methods We included 1226 sCJD cases (median age 66 years, range 19–89 years; 56.8% women with information on age, sex, codon 129 genotype, 14‐3‐3 in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and CSF tau concentrations. The prognostic accuracy for overall survival was measured by the c...
