Abstract

BACKGROUND: Two of the most common complaints seen in neurology clinics are Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), characterized by similar symptoms. The aim of this study was to develop and internally validate the diagnostic value of combined neurological and radiological predictors in differentiating mild AD from MCI as the outcome variable, which helps in preventing AD development.
