Do we have any idea what the baseline incidence of CTE, using the same criteria used in this study, might be in the general population?

- jessriedel 9y agoApparently not. The criteria for what counts as evidence of CTE is still being fleshed out, at least as of 3 years ago. > The neuropathology of CTE is increasingly well defined. In 2013, McKee and colleagues published the largest case report to date of individuals with neuropathologically confirmed CTE, presenting proposed criteria for four stages of CTE pathology based on the severity of the findings [9••]. Formal validation of the reliability of these criteria and the staging system are currently being performed by a team of nine neuropathologists, funded by a National Institutes of Health (NIH) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4255271/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4255271/
