Produktbeschreibung
Consensus is lacking on early diagnostic criteria and the exact symptoms of Alzheimer´s disease (AD). A new, in-office test may help physicians detect the early symptoms of AD, based upon new National Institute of Aging (NIA) criteria. However, a gap exists in knowledge regarding physicians´ current use or intent to use the new protocols. Choreographing the descriptive AD terminology in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV-TR and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) is recommended. Thus, the purpose of this study was to understand possible contributing factors to physician´s use or intent to use of the new NIA´s diagnostic protocol. Data collected from 55 clinicians within two Northern California counties were analyzed using a bivariate test. The two dependent variables were physicians´ use of, or intent to use, the NIA protocol; the six independent variables were number of years since graduating from medical school, area of specialty, percentage of patients over age 60 years, physician´s gender, age, and knowledge about AD, as indicated by performance on the Alzheimer´s Disease Knowledge Scale.
