Predicting the progression of Alzheimer's

February, 2010

A 15-year study concludes that a simple progression rate calculated at the initial visit can reliably identify slow, intermediate and rapid progression.

By following 597 Alzheimer’s patients over 15 years, researchers have determined that a simple progression rate can be calculated at the initial visit, using symptom onset and present performance, and that this can reliably identify slow, intermediate and rapid progression.
