Abstract: A preceding article described the clinical features of Parkinson's disease dementia (PD‐D) and proposed clinical diagnostic criteria for “probable” and “possible” PD‐D. The main focus of this article is to operationalize the diagnosis of PD‐D and to propose pratical guidelines based on a two level process depending upon the clinical scenario and the expertise of the evaluator involved in the assessment. Level I is aimed primarily at the clinician with no particular expertise in neuropsychological methods, but … Show more

“…Our sample was only representative of the hospital-based population, which may be subject to a selection bias. Second, although the choice of neuropsychological tests was based on recommendations from the MDS task force 6 Making Test and Visual Reproduction Test), leading to a possible underperformance by patients in our sample who had a low education level, 9% of which were illiterate. Third, it is important to note that despite multiple predictors considered in the present analyses, we did not assess some neuropsychiatric functions (such as apathy and visual hallucination).…”

“…The results from the neuropsychological tests were used to subdivide the sample using both diagnostic procedures (Level I) 6 and clinical criteria (Level II) 5 recommended by the MDS task force for PD-D. was a presence of cognitive deficits in at least two cognitive domains (including memory impairment); [C] cognitive impairment was severe enough to affect premorbid level; [D] deficits were severe enough to impair daily life independent of the impairment explained by motor or autonomic symptoms and [E] the cognitive and behavioral symptoms were not better explained by other conditions or diseases. The patient was classified with impaired cognition if performance scores were lower than 1.5 SD below the Brazilian normative data (available to MMSE, FAB, RAVLT, semantic and phonemic fluency verbal tests) in at least two cognitive domains, being that abnormal performance in a single test represents cognitive function impairment.…”

“…Moreover, the MDS also published recommendations for the diagnostic procedure, both a brief screening approach (Level I), which can be easily used by clinicians with no expertise in cognitive evaluation, and a comprehensive assessment (Level II), that is more suitable for dementia staging, research purposes and also for clinical trials 6 .…”
