    Author: Reisberg B, Ferris SH, de Leon MJ, Crook T.
    Journal: Am J Psychiatry; 1982 Sep; 139(9):1136-9. PubMed ID: 7114305.
    Abstract:
    Cognitive decline associated with old age and consistent with the diagnosis of primary degenerative dementia is a unique clinical syndrome with characteristic phenomena and progression. The authors describe a Global Deterioration Scale for the assessment of primary degenerative dementia and delineation of its stages. The authors have used the Global Deterioration Scale successfully for more than 5 years and have validated it against behavioral, neuroanatomic, and neurophysiologic measures in patients with primary degenerative dementia.
