Age corrections and dementia classification accuracy.
In contrast to expectations, demographic corrections to reduce biases against those of advanced age or few years of education does not universally improve diagnostic classification accuracy.

متن کاملReduction and Classification Technique for the Diagnosis of Dementia
This research paper proposes an improved feature reduction and classification technique to identify mild and severe dementia from brain MRI data. The manual interpretation of changes in brain volume based on visual examination by radiologist or a physician may lead to missing diagnosis when a large number of MRIs are analyzed. To avoid the human error, an automated intelligent classification sy...
متن کاملThe genetic and pathological classification of familial frontotemporal dementia.
BACKGROUND Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an important cause of neurodegenerative dementia, particularly in younger patients. TAU has been identified as the gene responsible for FTD linked to chromosome 17, but it is likely that there is pathological and genetic heterogeneity among families with FTD. OBJECTIVE To explore the genetic and pathological basis of familial FTD. DESIGN Clinical ...
