Abstract

Date Presented 4/16/2015

This study examined the annual rate of cognitive–functional decline measured by Cognitive Performance Test (CPT) scores in 80 subjects with neurocognitive disorders. Results indicate significance in the rate of decline of the total group (0.12 CPT) but little differentiation on the basis of etiology or severity of cognitive involvement.
