Bold values were significant after FDR correction for multiple comparisons.

Values are shown as median (q1, q3).

Only select clinical variables with the most complete longitudinal testing are shown.

ASRS = Apraxia of Speech Rating Scale; BNT = Boston Naming Test; CDR = Clinical Dementia Rating; FAB = Frontal Assessment Battery; FBI = Frontal Behavioral Inventory; MoCA = Montreal Cognitive Assessment; MSD = Motor speech disorder rating; NAT = Northwestern Anagram Test; NPI-Q = Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire; NVOA = Non-Verbal Oral Apraxia rating; TT = Token Test.
