Abstract
122 patients with Alzheimer's disease receiving galantamine in the Swedish Alzheimer Treatment Study were studied with respect to longitudinal change in cognition (MMSE and ADAS-cog) and function (IADL, PSMS and FAST). Particularly the FAST mean change from baseline showed a linear relationship with cognitive mean change and the strength of the relationship increased over time. The IADL scale demonstrated a faster decline of function, but significantly less than expected by using the mathematical model by Green et al. A cluster analysis was performed to reveal any natural groupings of the patients based on the functional scores at baseline. The two-cluster solution was significant; patients in cluster 1 were more cognitively impaired at... (More)

A cluster analysis was performed to reveal any natural groupings of the patients based on the functional scores at baseline. The two-cluster solution was significant; patients in cluster 1 were more cognitively impaired at baseline, they were less apt to carry the APOE e4 allele and declined faster in the outcome of PSMS score compared to the other group.
