P < 0.05. PMI, post‐mortem interval; DLB, dementia with Lewy body; SD, standard deviation; m/f, male/female; NFT, neurofibrillary tangle. Statistical analysis was carried out between the cases with and without depression or delusion.
Four cases showed persecutory delusion. The others include cases with Cotard syndrome, Capgras syndrome, and unspecified delusion
