I'm searching for any prevalence study that shows a prevalence of 6 sets of clinical criteria to classify Alzheimer's disease (DSM). Thank you.
Dear Oriol,
Nowadays, I do not believe we have data about the "6 sets" separately. There is no reason to build up studies going like this if you are thinking in dementia appropriately diagnosed in clinical pratice only. Besides, the disease's progressing could be quite different among the subtipes, with early and late onset dementia having very distinct facets.
But you should try looking for "stages in dementia prevalence", in the link nia.nih.gov.
Hi there,
did you read up on the metaanalyses of international studies on the incidence and prevalence of AD ?
Ferri, C. P., et al. (2005). "Global prevalence of dementia: a Delphi consensus study." Lancet 366(9503): 2112-2117.
Most studies use internationally validated diagnostic criteria for diagnoses.
Regards, Edeltraut
Thank you for your answers! unfortunately did not answer my ask. I know the criteria and prevalence studies but I would like compare with DSM-IV criteria. Well, maybe i'm late because DSM-5 is here... hehehe
