Study summary

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare and rapidly progressive neurological disorder. This study aims to describe and summarize the key features of CJD by looking back at medical records of patients who were diagnosed with CJD at our hospital. The researchers will collect information from routine clinical evaluations, including patients' symptoms, blood tests, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, brain imaging (such as MRI and PET), and electroencephalography (EEG). By analyzing these data together, the study hopes to provide a clearer picture of how CJD presents in routine clinical practice. This may help doctors recognize the disease more quickly in the future. No new tests or treatments will be given to patients. All data are collected from existing medical records.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Proportion of CJD Patients With Characteristic Diagnostic Findings — Baseline
  The primary outcome is the proportion of patients showing characteristic abnormalities across five domains: clinical symptoms, peripheral blood markers, cerebrospinal fluid 14-3-3 protein and RT-QuIC, brain MRI (cortical ribboning or basal ganglia hyperintensity), and EEG (periodic sharp wave complexes).
