Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) with Late-Onset Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms (OCs): An Individual-Patient Data Meta-Analysis (P6.246)
Conclusion: OCs most frequently occur prior to the clinical diagnosis of FTD (in 78.3[percnt] of cases, 0 to 27 years before) and also co-occur with other psychiatric conditions like anxiety, depression and psychosis. Late-onset OCs can precede frank FTD, and thus merit further attention as an early marker of FTD.Disclosure: Dr. Santibanez has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sepehry has nothing to disclose.
