CAMCOG, GPCOG and dementia as diagnosed by the GP audit will be presented. Typical baseline management by GPs as shown by the audits will be discussed. To date 170 GPs have agreed to participate and 1452 participants have completed the baseline measures. One-hundred-and- twenty-six participants have been identified as suffering from dementia (de- fined by CAMCOG score < 81). Forty-nine per cent of these cases had been detected by the GP prior to commencement of the study. Conclu- sions: This presentation will examine baseline data concerning dementia diagnosis and management in a group of General Practice patients. P1-064 SPECTRUM OF DEMENTIA IN NORTH INDIAN POPULATION Sunil Pradhan 1 Pratima Pandey 2 , 1 Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences (IHBAS), Delhi & Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, India; 2 Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences (IHBAS), Delhi, India. Contact e-mail: drspradhan@rediffmail.com Background: With India’s fast growing population, number of elderly peo- ple is also on an increase. With new interventions and therapies becoming available, it is important to have knowledge of disease burden of different forms of dementias in this changing scenario. Most of the field studies on de- mentia have disregarded subtypes such as dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) or fronto-temporal dementia (FTD) and sometimes even vascular dementia (VaD), and presumed all dementia as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We there- fore conducted a hospital based study to find the proportion of dementia pa- tients having non-AD cases, compared to AD. Methods: We reviewed the demographic and clinical characteristics of 170 consecutive late-onset de- mentia patients seen in neurology outpatient department of Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, which is a tertiary care centre and has profound but not exclusive referrals for a population of nearly 160 million North Indian people. Diagnosis of dementia was established accord- ing to DSM IV criteria and brain atrophy pattern as seen in MRI pictures. VaD was diagnosed taking into consideration multi-infarct state with demen- tia, post-stroke dementia and other rare causes of VaD. Patients with family history, drug abuse, psychiatric disturbances, head injury, encephalopathy and mild cognitive impairment were excluded. Results: We found VaD to be commonest cause of dementia which was present in 80 cases (47.06%) followed by AD (n¼33, 19.41%), and DLB (n¼25, 14.71%). FTD emerged out to be the fourth commonest cause at 8.24%. Stuttering course, behavioral abnormality, loss of executive functions, pathological laughter and attention deficits were more common in VaD and FTD and helped in differentiating these conditions from common description of AD. Conclusions: Our find- ings suggest VaD to be the most common dementia in India when both multi-infarct dementia and post-stroke dementia are taken into consideration. Also we had a high prevalence of DLB and FTD which when combine to- gether out-numbered the AD cases. As nearly half of our FTD patients were picked up from psychiatric centers and DLB from movement disorder clinic, special design is required to know the exact prevalence of these disor- ders in general population of developing Asian countries such as India. P1-065 VALIDITY OF FUNCTIONAL INDEPENDENCE MEASURE FOR PATIENTS WITH ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND VASCULAR DEMENTIA Keiji Suzuki 1 , Rie Suzuki 2 , Ryoko Hosaka 2 , Hiroshi Ishii 1 , Naofumi Tanaka 1 , Kenichi Meguro 1 , 1 Department of Geriatric Behavioral Neurology, Sendai, Japan; 2 Kawasaki Kokoro Hospital, Kawasaki, Japan. Contact e-mail: rpthead@yahoo.co.jp Background: In the rehabilitation approach, it is important to assess pa- tients’ activities of daily living (ADL). The Functional Independence Mea- sure (FIM) is one of the ADL measures which can assess not only physical activities but also cognitive functions. Since a comprehensive reha- bilitation approach is thought to be important for dementia, we investigated the validity of the FIM for patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vas- cular dementia (VaD). Methods: We studied 20 AD patients as per the NINCDS-ADRDA criteria (mean age: 85 years) and 10 VaD patients accord- ing to the NINDS-AIREN criteria (mean age: 81 years). Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and ADL was evaluated with the Barthel Index (BI). Results: The AD patients showed higher FIM-motor scores compared with the VaD patients (p¼0.042, Mann- Whitney U), although there was no significant difference for the FIM-cognition scores between the two groups. There were significant Spearman correlations between the FIM-motor and BI scores for the AD (p<0.001) and VaD (p<0.045) patients. For the FIM-cognition scores, there were significant Spear- man correlations with MMSE scores for the AD (p¼0.002) and VaD (p¼0.035) patients. Conclusions: The VaD patients showed lower FIM-motor scores compared with the AD patients since the former showed various degree of motor disturbance. We confirmed the validity of FIM-motor and FIM-cog- nition scores, which can hopefully be applied in the comprehensive rehabilita- tion approach for dementia patients.

Contact e-mail: maumom@gmail.com Background: Delusions are relatively common psychiatric symptoms among the dementia patients, and may cause severe burdens for the patients’ caregivers and are main causes of institutionalization and emergency hospital- ization. But the prevalence or characteristics of delusions of the dementia pa- tients has not been reported yet. In this paper, we investigated the prevalence of delusions in Alzheimer’s dementia with mild to moderate severity, the char- acteristics of the delusions and their neuropsychological correlates. Methods: The authors performed a cross-sectional study of the dementia patients from the dementia clinic using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory. Patients with a prob- able diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (N¼871) were selected for this analysis about the clinical characteristics of delusions in AD and their neuro- psychological associations. Results: The prevalence of delusions and hallu- cinations was 23.2% (202 patients) and 11.8% (103 patients), respectively. Among the patients with delusions, the delusions that ‘‘People are stealing things from patient’’ was most common (61.9%), followed by ‘‘the house is not his/her home’’ (18.8%), ‘‘Delusional jealousy’’ (15.3%), ‘‘Patient has been abandoned’’ (12.9%), ‘‘Patient is being conspired against or harassed’’ (11.4%), ‘‘Spouse and others are not who they claim to be’’ (9.4%), ‘‘Some- one is in the house’’ (8.4%) and ‘‘Television figures are actually present in the home’’ (5.0%). Misidentification delusions were significantly correlated with abnormalities in Korean version of Boston Naming Test. Dementia severity was correlated with the severity of delusion. Conclusions: A high prevalence of delusion was observed in the studied population. This has serious negative consequences for the quality of life of patients and their social environment. Therefore we propose an active search and subsequent correct treatment of the psychotic symptoms in all patients with dementia. Poster Presentations P1 P191
