Little is known about the predictors of decline to help explain this variation. We aimed to explore whether this heterogeneous course of MCI may be predicted by the presence of Lewy body (LB) symptoms in a prospectively-recruited longitudinal cohort of MCI with Lewy bodies (MCI-LB) and Alzheimer's disease (MCI-AD).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291720001130_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A prospective cohort (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 76) aged \u2a7e60 years underwent detailed assessment after recent MCI diagnosis, and were followed up annually with repeated neuropsychological testing and clinical review of cognitive status and LB symptoms. Latent class mixture modelling identified data-driven sub-groups with distinct trajectories of global cognitive function.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291720001130_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Three distinct trajectories were identified in the full cohort: slow\/stable progression (46%), intermediate progressive decline (41%) and a small group with a much faster decline (13%).

With time zeroed on study end (death, dementia or withdrawal) where available (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 39), the same subgroups were identified. Adjustment for baseline functioning obscured the presence of any latent classes, suggesting that baseline function is an important parameter in prospective decline.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291720001130_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>These results highlight some potential signals for impending decline in MCI; poorer baseline function and the presence of probable LB symptoms \u2013 particularly visual hallucinations.
