BV‐FTD: How early presentation of disease contributes in making decisions of clinicians; Diagnostic accuracy during disease trajectory
Literature consistently indicates that bvFTD is frequently misdiagnosed at first clinical contact due to overlapping psychiatric or other neurological syndromes. Ongoing assessments and the use of standardized diagnostic frameworks improve accuracy, yet a substantial diagnostic lag persists. Early recognition of subtle behavioral indicators is crucial for timely diagnosis, optimal clinical management, and better patient outcomes. Enhanced clinician awareness and systematic, longitudinal evaluation protocols and AI technologies remain key strategies for addressing diagnostic challenges in bvFTD.
