| VH-negative (n = 54) | VH-positive (n = 21) | |
|---|---|---|
| LRP Distribution | n (%) | n (%) |
| Amygdala | 11 (20.4%) | 1 (4.8%) |
| Brainstem | 12 (22.2%) | 4 (19.0%) |
| Limbic | 11 (20.4%) | 2 (9.5%) |
| Neocorticalc | 18 (33.3%) | 13 (61.9%) |
| Mixed | 2 (3.7%) | 1 (4.8%) |
According to the modified International Consensus Diagnostic criteria for dementia with Lewy bodies27; 44 out of 148 cases (29.8%) met the 2005 neuropathological criteria for dementia with Lewy bodies9
Fisher’s exact test for r xc tables, p = 0.16
Comparison of neocortical frequency with and without VHs: Fisher’s exact test, p = 0.02.
VH: visual hallucination; LRP: Lewy-related pathology.
