Physical performance, frailty and BPSD in patients with dementia: a retrospective study
In dementia patients with BPSD, cognitive and physical performance worsen over time. The presence of positive psychiatric symptoms was higher in clusters with a higher degree of frailty and disability, but we ignore the causality to one another. Larger studies are needed to assess the relation between BPSD and frailty.
