The revised five-factor score is associated with five-year mortality from GPA and is based on these criteria: Age greater than 65 years, cardiac symptoms, gastrointestinal involvement, chronic kidney disease, and the absence of ear, nose, and throat symptoms. [7] With corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide, five-year survival is over 80%. [13]
LATE is a very common condition: autopsy studies around the world indicate that LATE is present in the brains of about one-third of people over 85.
