Abstract:
A revised version of guideline for dementia has been published in 2017 by the guideline committee under the supervision of Japanese Society of Neurology. This guideline was elaborated for 3 years, and introduces recent understanding of Alzheimer's pathoetiology and major diagnostic guidelines on dementia, being reported later than 2010. Furthermore, this guideline covers new diagnostic tests for dementia, therapeutic algorism for the use of anti-dementia drugs, and full description on the medical resource and social system for dementia care. We believe this new guideline can be a useful tool in daily clinical practice for dementia patients.
