Informant characteristics are associated with the Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes scores in the Alzheimer’s Disease patients participating in the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center Uniform Data Set
We found that the CDR-SB scores are significantly modified according to informant characteristics in the NACC-UDS patients with AD diagnosis. These results are clinically relevant because informant characteristics should not affect AD patient staging, and future research should evaluate how to manage these confounding variables.
