Continuous variables are presented as mean ± standard deviation. P value was calculated via Mann–Whitney U test. CLES (Common Language Effect Size) indicates the probability that a randomly selected score from one group is higher than a score from the other. NPS, Naples Prognostic Score; AD, Alzheimer’s disease; VaD, vascular dementia.
