Differences in Cognitive Trajectories of Dementia: Comparison of Alzheimer's Disease Dementia and Dementia with Lewy Bodies in a Korean Patient Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Prediction of the dementia progression is important for patient management. We aimed to investigate the cognitive trajectories of Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) according to the initial structural change measured by comprehensive visual rating scales (CVRS).
