There were strong associations among CDR and the various outcomes relevant to healthcare providers, patients, and their care givers, such as activities of daily living.Overall, activities of daily living, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and cognitive function outcomes deteriorated over time and can be observed in early stages of AD (MCI or mild dementia).Our findings directly inform the current understanding of AD progression and can aid in care planning and benefit assessments of early AD interventions to delay the progression of AD to more advanced stages.
