Abstract

BACKGROUND: The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) and the Frontal Behavioral Inventory (FBI) are widely used in patients with the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). Yet, few data are available on the long-term relevance of these scales. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Based on a bvFTD population that participated in the Memantine Clinical Trial (NCT00200538), we studied the evolution and correlation between scores obtained on behavioral scales (NPI and FBI), cognitive scales [Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (MDRS)] and a burden scale [Zarit Burden Inventory (ZBI)]. The assessments were performed at 1 year in 41 patients and at 2 years in 23 patients who agreed to participate in this open-label study. RESULTS: The 2-year scores obtained on the FBI were significantly higher than the scores at inclusion while those obtained on the NPI did not change. There were significant correlations between the FBI, and the MDRS and MMSE, especially regarding the negative items. The ZBI correlated with behavioral scales at all stages for positive items. CONCLUSIONS: This study based on a large population shows that the FBI is a better tool than the NPI for the long-term assessment of bvFTD patients. Moreover, the FBI allows a distinction to be made between behavioral disturbances that involve cognitive functions from those which have an important impact on caregiver burden.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The FBI and CBI-R were sensitive to progression in sporadic and genetic bvFTD (C9ORF72) more consistently than the NPI, over varying follow-up time (1-4 years).

    “Literature showed the FBI and the CBI-R to be sensitive to progression in sporadic and genetic bvFTD (C9ORF72) more consistently than the NPI, over varying follow-up time (1–4 years), despite one study stating comparable decline of FBI and NPI (Marczinski et al., 2004; Boutoleau-Bretonniere et al., 2012; Linds et al., 2015; O’Connor et al., 2016; Floeter et al., 2017; Reus et al., 2018).”

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.
