They aren’t looking hard enough 😂
The reluctance to diagnose DLB on its own, even when a patient meets full criteria, is baffling to me. I see it often as a 2nd/3rd opinion referral.
Board certified in neurology (ABPN) and BNNP certified - behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry = wide gap!

It’s diagnosed in our clinic:
1. Amnestic dementia with RBD and hallucinations +/- Parkinsonism
2. Multidomain dementia with DLB criteria and hippocampal atrophy
3. Biomarker positivity for AD/DLB
ICD10: major neurocognitive disorder d/t multiple pathologies. Then list AD and DLB underneath

I think part of the issue is timing here.
If you have a large gap between menopause and hormone therapy treatment, is the HT added much later driving these changes or is it the gap?
The early HT replacement seems to be protective so it seems to be the gap of HT being more problematic.
