我们研究了101例原发性退行性痴呆患者的结局。患者在初始评估时是门诊患者，并且都有家庭照顾者。轻度和晚期患者的死亡率和住院率有很大差异，这是由精神状态检查评分定义的。当患者按日常生活活动和破坏性行为评估评分分层时，这两种结局的相似差异也很明显。因此，某些患者特征可能在预测住院和死亡风险方面具有价值。
We studied the outcome of 101 patients with primary degenerative dementia. The patients were outpatients at the time of the initial evaluation, and all had family caregivers. There were substantial differences in mortality and institutionalization between the mild and advanced patients, as defined by scores on mental status examination. Similar differences in those two outcomes were also evident when the patients were stratified by scores on activities of daily living and disruptive behavior assessments. Thus, certain patient characteristics may be of value in predicting risk for institutionalization and death.
