 Topic : Dementia

Recognition and Initial Assessment of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias: Clinical Practice Guideline No. 19. : AHCPR Publication No. 97-0702: November 1996

Early recognition and initial assessment of dementia was selected by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) as a subject for the development of a Clinical Practice Guideline for several reasons: the scope of the problem is significant, early-stage dementia is often misdiagnosed, costs associated with dementia are high, and early recognition of the condition has important benefits. Because the most prevalent dementing illness in the United States is Alzheimer's disease, it is used as a model for discussions in this guideline, unless otherwise noted.
