Establishing Gold Standard Assessment for Young Onset Dementia: A Modified E‐Delphi Consensus Survey Based in Australia
Based on the results of this modified e-Delphi study, full and high consensus was reached on 37 statements which were comparable to results in an international study. This suggests that in general, clinicians in Australia have agreement with international experts about what is important for the assessment and diagnosis of YOD. Because the statements used in the international study were used in this Australian study, consideration of what issues may be specific to the Australian context such as YOD in Aboriginal Australians and rurality may have not been ascertained. In spite of this, these results may be useful to aid clinicians in their assessment for YOD but consensus statements may change over time as development in knowledge and available tests increases.
