Abstract

Clinicians accurately predicted AD pathological findings or their absence in most cases. Attributing other degenerative dementias to AD, misdiagnosing patients with combined AD and Lewy bodies and misjudging the vascular contribution to dementia were the major areas of inaccuracy. Formal criteria for dementia associated with non-AD lesions, Lewy bodies, and infarcts need to be developed and tested.
