Key Points

  • This research aims to assess the incidence and survival rates of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) in a central European population.
  • Observed incidence rates based on a population-based registry
  • Compared incidence rates between genders
  • Analyzed prognosis based on specific FTLD subtypes
  • Raw incidence rate was 0.77, lower than previous reports
  • Higher incidence observed in men compared to women
  • Prognosis varied significantly with FTLD subtype

Abstract

We observed a raw incidence rate of 0.77, thus considerably lower than in most previous reports. Incidence was substantially higher in men than in women. The prognosis from the time of diagnosis depended highly on the specific FTLD subtype. Our data are based on the large sample size and high capture rate of a central European population-based registry.
