who progressed to AD after follow-up period (CDR 1; 11 patients; 7 women, 4 men) and second group consisted of patients who had stable symptoms of MCI (CDR 0.5; 8 patients; 3 women, 5 men). The relationship between hippocampal volume z-score and the risk of developing AD over a two-year period of observation adjusted for age and sex interaction in logistic regression model was Rsquare 0.65; p 0.045 for left hippocampus and Rsquare 0.56; p 0.055 for right hippocampus. Conclusions: Initial hippocampal volume may influence the dynamics of cognitive decline in MCI patients over a two-year period of observation. The difference of effect between sides suggests higher sensitivity of left hippocampal volume as a predictive marker of AD. However lack of normative values of hippocampal volume mean and SD for elderly population limits calculated z-score to studied population.
