Optimizing primary progressive aphasia diagnosis: The development of a localized framework
Stages 1 and 2 of the diagnostic roadmap constitute possible scenarios considering the region's capabilities. Laboratory tests and MRI are viable, and the standard neuropsychological assessment includes readily available tests in Spanish. However, Stages 3 and, especially, Stage 4 are currently achievable only in specific socio-economic contexts due to limiting factors (e.g., limited access to language specialists, high costs of specialized studies, lack of healthcare coverage). This roadmap serves as a framework to guide professionals in the region and optimize the diagnostic process.
