## Abstract We compared the clinical and neuropsychological pattern of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease with dementia (PD‐d). Sixteen patients clinically diagnosed with DLB were compared with two groups of patients with PD‐d (n = 15) and AD (n = 16
## Abstract ## Objective To demonstrate the exact nature of the cognitive profile of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) on standardized neuropsychological tests including the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale––Revised (WAIS‐R) and the Wechsler Memory Scale––Revised (WMS‐R). ## Design We examined th
## Use of MMSE to differentiate Alzheimer's disease from dementia with Lewy bodies Dear Editor Like Dr Ala and his colleagues (Ala et al., 2002), we have encountered patients with pathologically confirmed dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) who retro-spectively scored < 5 on the Ala MMSE subscore test
Cognitive decline and dementia affect approximately 30% to 40% of patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease during the course of their illness. PD-dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are second to Alzheimer's disease in causing degenerative dementia in the elderly. The nosological
## Abstract ## Background Little is known about the rate of progression or associations of cognitive impairment in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), or the associations of accelerated decline. ## Method Dementia patients from a case register were evaluated at baseline and 1 year follow‐up using t
