Discussion

Longitudinal analysis shows cognitive decline and neuroimaging changes in dementia with Lewy bodies, suggesting new diagnostic approaches.

Cognitive decline measured by MMSE shows an average drop of 5.19 points annually, indicating significant progression of dementia with Lewy bodies.
MRI findings reveal early bilateral temporoparietal junction atrophy in 6 out of 11 patients, pointing to specific brain regions affected by the disease.
Longitudinal follow-up assessed by a centralized approach across 11 patients provides insights into clinical features of dementia with Lewy bodies.
Integration of clinical assessment and multimodal imaging enhances early differential diagnosis and manages high misdiagnosis rates.

Yao et al. (2025) studied this question.
