The EEG as a diagnostic tool in distinguishing between dementia with Lewy bodies and Alzheimer’s disease

Highlights • The Grand Total EEG (GTE) score can differentiate dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with good sensitivity and specificity. • EEG should play a more prominent role in daily clinical practice as a diagnostic tool in differentiating DLB from AD. • Future revisio...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • The Grand Total EEG (GTE) score can differentiate dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with good sensitivity and specificity. • EEG should play a more prominent role in daily clinical practice as a diagnostic tool in differentiating DLB from AD. • Future revisions of the diagnostic criteria for DLB should consider including frontal intermittent rhythmic delta activity (FIRDA).
