December 2024
University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA.
Background: The increasing population of older adults and growing number of disease-modifying therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) highlight the need for timely differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders despite high referral volumes.

Methods: Patients were referred to the "early AD pathway" by their neurologist or geriatrician after an initial evaluation in an outpatient multidisciplinary dementia clinic.
