Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia associated with vascular impairment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BPSD are prevalent across VCI subtypes but vary. Mixed dementia features more hallucinations and sleep disturbances, likely due to overlapping vascular and neurodegenerative pathology. Apathy and agitation in subcortical VCI may reflect vascular burden. Further research is warranted to clarify underlying neurobiological mechanisms.
