Abstract
- Comparison of baseline dependence values from a dependence scale for Alzheimer's disease (AD) for 233 patients with a series of scores that analyzed the function and cognition of AD validated the dependence scale. A scalogram analysis showed that the scale agreed well with the period of functional loss during the disease. Prospective data revealed that the scale underwent modifications during disease progression.
