As such, collateral report remains the most common method for capturing information about care recipient behavioral problems in dementia.…”

[36][37][38] The average number of neuropsychiatric symptoms presented by the elderly individuals with dementia, as reported by the caregivers, was 4.5 symptoms.…”

[36][37][38] The average number of neuropsychiatric symptoms presented by the elderly individuals with dementia, as reported by the caregivers, was 4.5 symptoms. Aproximately 90% of the patients develop at least one clinically significant neuropsychiatric manifestation throughout the course of the disease.…”
