Randomized controlled trials (RCT) or systematical reviews (SR) of EA versus Western medications for MCI were searched using the following 10 databases: Pubmed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), National Digital Science Library (NDSL), Journal of Oriental Neuropsychiatry (JON), Korean Medical Database (KMBASE), KoreaMed, and OASIS, from October 2007 to August 2017, without language restriction.
We applied our fully automated segmentation and feature extraction algorithm to two datasets: the OASIS database consisting of 316 healthy controls (HC) and 100 patients affected by either mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD) and a second database that was collected at the Memory Clinic of Hospital Network Antwerp and consists of 181 subjects, including healthy controls, subjects with subjective cognitive decline (SCD), MCI, and ADD.
