Table 3 Recalculated cutoffs for freshly measured CSF core AD biomarkers with their 95% CI. Cutoff fresh R: cutoff transferred by applying Passing Bablok regression. Cutoff fresh Y: cutoff calculated maximizing the Youden’s index for fresh samples, by taking as reference the classification performed on frozen ones

From: Measurement of CSF core Alzheimer disease biomarkers for routine clinical diagnosis: do fresh vs frozen samples differ?
