Implication

Retrospective analysis reveals primary symptoms and comorbidities in Alzheimer's patients, indicating critical care needs.

Key Points

  • Memory impairment was the leading reason for consultation among Alzheimer's patients in Algeria, often tied to behavioral changes.
  • Most patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's were aged 61 to 80, with a majority being women (61%) and comorbid hypertension prevalent in 53.9%.
  • Neuroimaging indicated two major patterns of brain atrophy: cortical-subcortical and bilateral hippocampal in diagnosed patients.
  • A family history of Alzheimer's disease was reported in 25.34% of cases, emphasizing the need for heightened awareness and early diagnosis.
