Impact of Functional Deficits in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living in Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Clinical Algorithm to Predict Progression to Dementia
Conclusions: Specific functional deficits increased dementia risk and, with age and global cognition, constituted a validated clinical algorithm to estimate dementia risk. Clinicians can use this clinically important algorithm to personalize decision-making about further investigation and identify high-risk patients for early treatment or inclusion in clinical trials.
