Prodromal clinical manifestations of neuropathologically confirmed Lewy body disease
Open accessAbstract
The mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stage of dementia with Lewy bodies (MCI-DLB) has not yet been defined, but is likely to differ in the MCI stage of Alzheimer's disease (MCI-AD). To determine whether clinical features distinguish MCI-DLB and MCI-AD, 9 cases of neuropathologically confirmed MCI-DLB and 12 cases of MCI-AD were compared. No significant differences were found between MCI-DLB and MCI-AD cases in age at death, gender, ApoE status, education, time followed while clinically normal, or duration of MCI. MCI-DLB and MCI-AD cases differed clinically in the expression of Parkinsonism (P=0.012), provoked hallucinations or delirium (P=0.042), or the presence of any of these noncognitive symptoms of DLB (P<0.0001). Letter fluency (P=0.007) was significantly lower and Wechsler Logical Memory I (P=0.019) was significantly higher in MCI-DLB compared to MCI-AD cases. These data demonstrate the feasibility of differentiating underlying pathologic processes responsible for cognitive decline in the preclinical disease state and suggest that further refinement in diagnostic criteria may allow more accurate early detection of prodromal DLB and AD.

Neocortical LBD is correlated with greater likelihood of cognitive impairment.
“For cases with incomplete clinical history, we note that “Neocortical LBD” is correlated with greater likelihood of cognitive impairment [1,11-13,22,31-33,38,46,49,52].”

The Results report cognitive decline in 9 of 15 cases with neocortical Lewy body disease, supporting a link between the pathology and impairment. But six cases had no charted cognitive decline, and the paper does not establish that neocortical LBD confers a greater likelihood of impairment than an appropriate comparison group. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredLBD observed in individuals without apparent cognitive or motor deficit may represent pre-clinical LBD.
“this may represent pre-clinical LBD [12,22,31].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
