Description
Sterre de Boer and co-authors tackle a hard diagnosis problem in a 2025 multi-center study. One form of frontotemporal dementia changes behavior early and is often mistaken for a late-life psychiatric disorder. No reliable marker separates the two, so the team pools 508 dementia cases and 152 psychiatric cases to find the sharpest clinical clues.
They test thinking scores, brain shrinkage ratings, and two blood markers in turn, then jointly. Some thinking patterns, such as stronger word fluency and screening scores with weaker attention, pointed toward a psychiatric cause instead. The study is the largest of its kind for this dementia form. Its models aim to seed diagnostic tools that spare patients years of wrong treatment.
