“…For example, the CDR failed to identify the severe stages of the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), most likely because it does not include items probing the most frequent behavioral and functional symptoms within the spectrum of this disorder 4 . Other studies have shown that the CDR may not be able to identify decline in FTD [5][6] .…”

“…The FTD-FRS has been translated and validated in other countries 5,6 . Schubert et al 10 have replicated the finding that patients with bvFTD show faster decline in the FTD-FRS, compared to other clinical groups, and suggested that neuropsychological evaluation alone may not distinguish the distinct trajectories of bvFTD and AD patients.…”

Introduction: There is a shortage of validated instruments to estimate disease progression in frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Objectives: To evaluate the ability of the FTD Rating Scale (FTD-FRS) to detect functional and behavioral changes in patients diagnosed with the behavioral variant of FTD (bvFTD), primary progressive aphasia (PPA), and Alzheimer disease (AD) after 12 months of the initial evaluation, compared to the Clinical Dementia Rating scale−frontotemporal lobar degeneration (CDR-FTLD) and the original Clinical Dementia Rating scale (CDR). Methods: The sample consisted of 70 individuals, aged 40+ years, with at least 2 years of schooling, 31 with the diagnosis of bvFTD, 12 with PPA (8 with semantic variant and 4 with non-fluent variant), and 27 with AD. The FTD-FRS, the CDR, and the 2 additional CDR-FTLD items were completed by a clinician, based on the information provided by the caregiver with frequent contact with the patient. The Addenbrooke Cognitive Examination-Revised was completed by patients. After 12 months, the same protocol was applied. Results: The FTD-FRS, CDR-FTLD, and CDR detected significant decline after 12 months in the 3 clinical groups (exception: FTD-FRS for PPA). The CDR was less sensitive to severe disease stages. Conclusions: The FTD-FRS and the CDR-FTLD are especially useful tools for dementia staging in AD and in the FTD spectrum.

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is one of the leading causes of dementia before age 65 and often manifests as abnormal behavior (in behavioral variant FTD) or language impairment (in primary progressive aphasia). FTD's exact clinical presentation varies by culture, language, education, social norms, and other socioeconomic factors; current research and clinical practice, however, is mainly based on studies conducted in North America and Western Europe. Changes in diagnostic criteria and procedures as well as new or adapted cognitive tests are likely needed to take into consideration global diversity. This perspective paper by two professional interest areas of the Alzheimer's Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment examines how increasing global diversity impacts the clinical presentation, screening, assessment, and diagnosis of FTD and its treatment and care. It subsequently provides recommendations to address immediate needs to advance global FTD research and clinical practice.
