A retrospective review was conducted of 122 charts of @entity1 with clinically diagnosed @entity195 (CDAD) who had participated in a @entity303 study at the Mayo Clinic from 1965 to 1970. DSM-III-R diagnoses were assigned based on the longitudinal description of symptoms detailed in the Mayo Clinic medical records of the hospitalizations; clinic, home, and nursing home visits; and state hospital admissions. Thirty @entity1 (25%) were found to have a @entity933 episode during their course of CDAD that occurred during inpatient admissions; 50% (15 of 30) of the @entity933 episode occurred in @entity1 ages 80 to 89. Among @entity1 with a @entity933 episode, 50% died within one year of the @entity933 episode and 64% died within two years. Of 13 @entity1 , 10 (77%) had multiple @entity933 episodes within two years. Admitting diagnoses were mainly primary degenerative @entity303 of the @entity195 with @entity933 . Only 3 (10%) demented @entity1 experienced @entity933 episodes during a medical admission. No @entity204 occurred during hospitalization for the years covered by this study. A psychiatric consultation was requested in only 17 (14%) @entity1 ; 88% of these @entity1 received diagnoses involving PDDAT, late onset. An additional diagnosis included @entity308 . Psychopharmacology was the major management strategy (82% of @entity1 with a @entity933 episode received medication) with a resolution of symptoms within 48 hours. At discharge, only 2 (7%) @entity1 failed to clear the increased degree of @entity911 .
