Figure 3.

Symptom frequencies and confidence in symptom placement by stage for nonfluent-agrammatic variant primary progressive aphasia

The Figure shows all symptoms included in the nfvPPA Progression Planning Aid (see Supplementary Table S2. Boxes on the left-hand side denote stages (1 = very mild nfvPPA; 2 = mild nfvPPA; 3 = moderate nfvPPA; 4 = severe nfvPPA; 5 = very severe nfvPPA; 6 = profound nfvPPA). Written symptom labels are colour-coded based on domains of verbal communication (A = black) and nonverbal functioning (B1 = nonverbal thinking, blue; B2 = conduct and wellbeing, red); B3 = physical, green). Horizontal bars indicate the ‘confidence’ of symptom staging, calculated as the percentage of people responding to a given symptom who endorsed placement of that symptom in its final stage (i.e. the highest agreement achieved for placement of that symptom). Symptoms have been ordered within stages in descending order of overall frequency.
