The Evolution of the Diagnosis of Dementia: Past, Present and Future
Abstract
It is perhaps surprising to note the improvement in differential diagnosis of dementing illnesses that has occurred in the past several years. Less than a decade ago a number of retrospective studies· had reported a 30%-50% error rate in diagnosis of dementia [4, 17], whereas in the past 2 years the error rate has been reduced to 15%-20% [20]. A significant achievement; but an important gap yet to be closed.
