Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a neurodegenerative disorder with a wide heterogeneity of symptoms, which suggests the existence of different subtypes. Objectives. We used data-driven analysis of MRI data to investigate DLB subtypes. Methods. We included 165 probable DLB from the Mayo Clinic and 3 centers from the European DLB consortium and performed a hierarchical cluster analysis to identify subtypes based on gray matter (GM) volumes. To characterize the subtypes, we used demographic and clinical data, as well as β-amyloid and cerebrovascular biomarkers at baseline, and cognitive decline over three years. Results. We identified 3 subtypes: an older subtype with reduced cortical GM volumes, worse cognition, and faster cognitive decline (n=49, 30%); a subtype with low GM volumes in fronto-occipital regions (n=76, 46%); and a subtype of younger patients with the highest cortical GM volumes, proportionally lower GM volumes in basal ganglia and the highest frequency of cognitive fluctuations (n=40, 24%). Conclusions. This study shows the existence of MRI subtypes in DLB, which may have implications for clinical workout, research, and therapeutic decisions.","journal":"Research Square","year":2022,"id":311477,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":0,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9416,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2022-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1007689,"name":"Anna Inguanzo","orcid":"0000-0003-0879-5875","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":574427,"name":"Konstantinos Poulakis","orcid":"0000-0002-6600-8086","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":260775,"name":"Rosaleena Mohanty","orcid":"0000-0001-6499-1251","position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":264830,"name":"Christopher G.
