支气管肺炎是84例老年阿尔茨海默病患者最常见的死亡原因。77%的病例死亡证明上的死亡原因与病理诊断相符。在30%的人中，死亡证明上没有记录痴呆综合征的存在。增加记录痴呆综合征存在的意愿和更高的尸检率将增加阿尔茨海默病死亡证明的准确性。
Bronchopneumonia was the commonest cause of death in 84 elderly patients suffering from Alzheimer''s disease. The cause of death as stated on the death certificate agreed with the pathological diagnosis in 77% of cases. In 30%, no mention of the presence of a dementia syndrome was recorded on the death certificate. An increased willingness to record the presence of a dementia syndrome and a higher autopsy rate would increase the accuracy of death certification in Alzheimer''s disease.
