Clinical Diagnosis
At the time of death, all available clinical data were reviewed by a neurologist with expertise in dementia, and a summary diagnostic opinion was rendered regarding the most likely clinical diagnosis at the time of death. Summary diagnoses were made blinded to all postmortem data. Case conferences including one or more neurologists and a neuropsychologist were used for consensus on selected cases.
