“…There are a number of limitations to this study: (1) the detected differences between SCUs could in theory be due to non-random sampling of the SCUs in the present study. However, most (51/56) SCUs included in this study were ordinary SCUs with a mixture of patients in various stages of the dementia and did not participate for having patients with remarkably low or high symptoms; (2) we did not categorize the dementia subtype, which is known to be a predictor of neuropsychiatric symptoms (Ballard et al, 1995;Lopez et al, 1996;Lyketsos et al, 2000;Bathgate et al, 2001;Lyketsos et al, 2002), although there is only limited evidence of this in nursing home patients (Drachman et al, 1992;Suh, 2004). Also other relevant patient correlates that we did not measure, such as cognitive or global functioning, pre-onset personality, co-morbidity, pain etc.…”

“…There are some behavioral symptoms which are considered specific for FTD, being present in at least 50% of cases [36]. These include loss of basic emotions and social embarrassment, selfishness, disinhibition, irritability, neglect, apathy, altered preference for sweet foods, with a tendency to continue eating for as long as food is present, or to steal food from others’ plates, motor and verbal stereotypies, wandering and an absence of insightfulness.…”

“…FTD produces a distinct profile of symptoms including loss of insight, social disinhibition, diminished emotions and selfishness [60,61,62], often with little initial cognitive decline [63]. Given the prominent role that behavioural and emotional changes play in FTD patients, it is not surprising that a number of studies have been undertaken to explore emotion recognition in this disease group, and empirical evidence strongly suggests an impaired ability to recognise a range of emotional facial expressions.…”
