  1. *1: 98% of cases are not autopsy-confirmed. *2 This includes LBD with AD (n = 15), LBD with PART (n = 2), and CJD with LBD (n = 3). *3 This includes CJD with DLB (n = 2), CJD with brainstem LBD (n = 3), and other primary diagnoses with limbic LBD (n = 1) or brainstem LBD (n = 1). *4 This number indicates MSA patients. The sensitivity and specificity are for PD against MSA.
