Time to nursing home predictor

[Guest guest]

I read the link posted here recently to the Alzheimer's prediciton for time to

nursing home/death. I became alarmed and did some more research pertaining to

this study. According to what I found, there was some concern over accuracy for

this test because of the high chance some of the subjects actually had LBD

instead of Alzheimer's and LBD progresses more rapidly.

If I understood correctly, that would mean our LO would be at the quicker end of

the scale when it comes to placement and death.

The orginal test is at this link:

I'm sorry I didn't grab the link for the other study I found. I will attempt to

locat it again.
