Postural Sway Characteristics Distinguish Types of Dementia
Kosuke Fujita, Taiki Sugimoto, Hisashi Noma, Yujiro Kuroda, Nanae Matsumoto, Kazuaki Uchida, Yoko Yokoyama, Yoshinobu Kishino et al.. Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2025-02-26
Topic: Brain imaging, connectivity and assessment
The data of 1734 participants (1158 with AD, 105 with DLB, 46 with VaD, and 425 with CN) were analyzed. The area under the curves of receiver operating characteristic curves for AD vs DLB, AD vs VaD, and DLB vs VaD were 0.647 (0.646-0.649), 0.763 (0.761-0.765), and 0.659 (0.656-0.662), respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND Postural control characteristics differentiated between dementia types with reasonable to good accuracy, especially in the comparison between AD and VaD. Postural control testing may become a valuable assistive tool for dementia diagnosis in the future.

Key findings
- The data of 1734 participants (1158 with AD, 105 with DLB, 46 with VaD, and 425 with CN) were analyzed.
- The area under the curves of receiver operating characteristic curves for AD vs DLB, AD vs VaD, and DLB vs VaD were 0.647 (0.646-0.649), 0.763 (0.761-0.765), and 0.659 (0.656-0.662), respectively.
- CONCLUSIONS AND Postural control characteristics differentiated between dementia types with reasonable to good accuracy, especially in the comparison between AD and VaD.
- Postural control testing may become a valuable assistive tool for dementia diagnosis in the future.

How this study scored 61/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal, and it is a snapshot of people at one point in time. Scored zero for effect reported and randomized / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multicenter collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 34 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 61 out of 100.
