Prevalence, timing and characteristics of delirium preceding dementia with Lewy bodies: a retrospective case series
These findings support delirium as a marker of prodromal DLB and suggest delirium-onset cases exhibit a more rapid progression to dementia, offering a focus for future studies. Identifying delirium as a potential early feature of DLB could aid in earlier recognition and improve diagnostic accuracy, particularly in individuals presenting with precipitants such as international air travel.
