Add clinical target columns (UPDRS, MoCA, cognitive composite, PRS)

#1
by zndr27 - opened

Adds derived clinical targets for the existing 1000 scans, joined from PPMI LONI study data. No imaging is touched.

What lands

  • clinical/ppmi_mini_clinical.parquet β€” a ~130 KB sidecar table, keyed on sample_id, with participant_id alongside for subject-level grouping. Load it and align on sample_id.
  • README.md β€” a new Clinical targets section defining every column: instrument, range, direction of scoring, coverage, and a load snippet.

What's in it

Motor and cognitive instruments as _baseline (nearest the scan) and _slope_48m (annualized OLS slope over a βˆ’0.25 to 4.0 year window) pairs: MDS-UPDRS Part III (OFF-only and all-states), Hoehn & Yahr, MDS-UPDRS Part II, Schwab & England, MoCA, a five-test cognitive composite, and DAT-SPECT striatal binding ratio for striatum, putamen and caudate.

Cross-sectional columns: UPSIT, RBDSQ, CSF alpha-synuclein SAA status, and two PD polygenic risk scores.

Three recruitment covariates: enrolled_genetic_cohort, enrolled_hyposmia, enrolled_rbd. Not targets β€” PPMI recruits genetic carriers through a dedicated cohort and that membership correlates with PD polygenic risk at r=0.58 by construction, so anything that might vary with recruitment can be checked against them.

The join is on PATNO, which participant_id already encodes as sub-<PATNO>, so it hits 1000/1000 and PATNO itself is not published.

Full column definitions are in the dataset card rather than here, so they stay with the data.
