Note. Norms were calculated as 2 standard deviations below the mean in the age- and education-matched group of healthy controls (n = 29). CPM: Raven’s progressive matrices. Dis. Dur.: disease duration (years). BNT: Boston Naming test. AAT: Akense Afasie test repetition scores parts 1 to 5. DS: digit span forward. DIAS cons: Diagnostic Instrument for AOS (DIAS) repetition of consonants. DIAS vow: DIAS repetition of vowels. DIAS dia: DIAS diadochokinesis score. WEZT: grammaticality score on Verbs and Sentences Test. Dysarthria: if present, the type of dysarthria is indicated (S: spastic, H: hypokinetic, SH: mixed spastic-hypokinetic). Extrapyr: extrapyramidal signs upon examination. CIT Spect: [123I]ß-CIT (2ß-carbomethoxy-3ß-(4-iodophenyl)tropane) SPECT to evaluate the presynaptic dopaminergic system. FDG-PET: [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose PET, hypometabolism was observed in the SMA, IFG, or whole frontal lobe, either bilateral or on the left side (L). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis of Aβ1-42 and total tau using ELISA. Neuropath: anatomopathological findings. *Also meets criteria for the mixed variant of PPA. NFV: non-fluent variant of primary progressive aphasia. Values outside the normal range are in bold.
