Background: The behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), characterized by early abnormalities and late memory impairment, is a neurodegenerative disorder with detrimental impact on patients their caregivers. bvFTD often difficult to distinguish from other diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), using brief cognitive tests. Combining socio-cognitive evaluations standard testing could better discriminate AD patients. We sought evaluate the diagnostic accuracy tests that may...
Abstract Background Rising dementia prevalence in Low and Middle‐Income Countries (LMICs), fueled by socio‐economic disparities, necessitates accessible brief cognitive tests.
