Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Sixty-four elderly patients who had been admitted to the St. George's Hospital Alzheimer's disease evaluation project during 1981-1989 were followed up to postmortem examination. Comparison between clinical diagnoses and neuropathological diagnoses indicated positive predictive values for the antemortem diagnoses of 50-67%. Existing clinical criteria may not be accurate enough to permit firm antemortem diagnosis of older people for either research or clinical purposes. |
