I run into this question sometimes when I'm assessing patients and I find a MCI presentation (e.g., multiple domain amnestic / nonamnestic, amnestic single domain, nonamnestic single domain)... is there a paper out there that elegantly tries to answer the question about conversion rates for MCI subtypes (e.g., into full blown dementia) over, say, five years?
I remember seeing a paper or presentation about this a while back but now I can't locate it, it's driving me batty. If any neuro or gero geeks could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.
From what I recall (and this makes obvious sense), amnestic, multiple domain MCI has the highest conversion rates. But I'd love to cite a paper on that and also have some idea as to whether vascular dementia is more likely, or AD is more likely, or if it doesn't really matter (which it probably doesn't). Anyways..... anyone has anything to say about this I would appreciate it.
